Methotrexate added after rheumy appt this evening.
So my rheumy is less concerned than my doctor about my inability to taper below 13mg. I am to continue on 13 and add in 7.5mg of Mx per week along with 2 weekly blood tests. She has also prescribed a flu vaccine and a pneumonia vaccine. I have avoided flu jabs like the plague so far but guess I should

Shingles and Sjorgens
Hi All, I thought I had an insect bite, but it developed over a couple of days, into shingles. Spent Easter Sunday at out of hours GP service. Joy!! The nerve pain in my jaw, teeth and tongue is grim and some swelling in my face, and a load of rashes. I've been given anti virals ( 800mg 5x per day)

HPV vaccine
Hi everyone, I'm after a bit of advice regarding my daughter having the HPV vaccine. I don't want her to have it, all of her peers have had it and she was happy with the decision we'd made but now she is having second thoughts and is worrying she will get cervical cancer. I am concerned about her having

Measles rash after the MMR vaccine
My little boy has got the measles type rash after the MMR vaccine. It's all over his body and he's had it since Saturday. Has anyone else experienced this and know how long it stays for? He's also vomited twice in the pass 12 hours but I'm assuming this is a bug and not connected. Thanks

A worrying video
This latest episode of The Truth about Vaccines which has just been released contains extremely important information for all of those who, like thyroid patients, may have compromised immune systems. I believe that we should all have as much information about every aspect of our health as it’s possible

Things I have heard about treating BC
For what it's worth: At 70 and in treatment for BC since 2012, I have heard several people tell me a few things pertaining to treating BC. One cousin whose brother had it said Asparagus is good for it, and my cousin eats it 2 times a week. Another swears that Tumeric is excellent to help prevent further

Latest update on dramatic results with Opdivo
Hi, here are the latest pictures of my mums progress with Opdivo. It's nothing short of a miracle what we can see from the outside! The 2 fungating lesions at the inscision sites that appeared after surgery have disappeared and and on palpitation of the areas I feel no lumps at at, just scar tissue.

Extra vaccinations and Behcet's Disease?
Apart from the flu jab each winter do people who have BD need to have any additional supportive injections or vaccinations to prevent other contracted diseases? Cheers, Tim
