Pain Concern
Hello Again. Has anyone had an epidural steroid injection for shingles pain? I am scheduled for one and I'm scared. I have had trigger point injections in the past, but those go into muscle where this would go to the nerves that shingles infect. This doctor is very good at what she does so I have no

Week 9 run done
It was bitterly cold, windy and snowing a bit when I forced myself out yesterday afternoon. 30 minutes running, but I didn't feel euphoric like I did with the last two runs of week 8 - to be honest it felt like bloody hard work š And my usual ploy of running in one direction and walking all the way

Pneumonia vaccine
Has anyone over 65 received the Pneumonia vaccine-Prevnar 20? I have ET Jak2+ and it was suggested by my GP. I read somewhere that we have to be careful with vaccines. Thank you,

Quinoric side effects
Hi all, I hope youāre keeping tip top as best you can. So, I have been on hydroxychloquine for 5 years this year. Iāve mostly been given the brand Quinoric which is increasingly upsetting my tummy. I already have gastrointestinal issues from endometriosis and the Lupus meds aggravate it. I understand

Haemophilus influenzae
Has anyone been able to get immunised against haemophilus influenzae? I've just had a bad infection which has been hard to shake off and I don't want it again. I know there is a vaccine available for adults but my hospital seems never to have heard of it.

Tuberculosis
I have been talking medication for lymph node tb for 4 months now, however i have been developing fever and night sweats for the past few day. Is it common to have fever and nights sweats 4 months into the treatment? My lymph node is secreting pus and is very itchy.

Follow up to initial appt
Hi all, I had my initial appt with rheumatologist 19th April, who diagnosed seronegative inflammatory arthritis. He gave me a steroid injection, which does seem to have lessened the swelling a bit, but still stiff and in pain. But I have yet to receive a follow up letter summarising the appt and findings

Angina and arthritis pain.
I have had for many years ischeamic heart disease (7 stents) damaged area of heart muscle due to two heart attacks back in 2014 plus AF. I also suffer with osteoarthritis in various joints the latest most recent in my right hip. This is constantly giving me severe pain that pain killers won't touch.
