Third covid jab / covid booster
Hi all Just wondering if those of you who are immunosuppressed as confused as I was with regards to the above. I like in the uk and have been on ibrance since May 20. Had my first covid jab Feb 21, second April 21. Early October I was invited for my ‘booster’ but this in fact was a third primary dose

Antibodies
I have heard that immunosuppressed patients or patients taking immunosuppressed drugs, who have not had Covid itself, do not build up the same amount of antibodies from the vaccines that non-immunosuppressed patients do. Does anybody know if this is true? Is there a test for the amount of vaccine

COVID-19 vaccine elicits antibodies in 90% taking immunosuppressants
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently recommended that people taking
immunosuppressants
receive a third dose of the vaccine to strengthen their immune responses.

Whopping antibodies after 3rd vaccine despite poor response earlier
Crikey. I just got my latest Covid antibody results. After vaccine 2 (AstraZeneca) in April I had 16.4 U/mL. Rather bizarrely that rose to 33.8 U/mL in September, pre vaccine 3. Now after vaccine 3 (Pfizer this time) I have over 2500 U/mL antibodies. Cor! Ok I feel slightly invincible now 😜 But at least

3rd covid jab ,not a booster jab.
I had a letter last week from the nhs telling me to go for my third covid jab ,not a covid booster jab a thid jab ,and the reason for this is because i take immunosuppressant drugs ie (methotrexate) they wanted to give me another jab because they wasn't sure i had been given enough of the jab the first

A bit disconcerting!
During lunch out with friends on Thursday I passed out. I came to having been sitting on one chair to lying out flat on 4 chairs and being told an ambulance was on its way. I was not in the area for the hospital where I was diagnosed with Microvascular Angina in May. I asked the nurses and doctor if

Am I right in thinking that some people do not/will not receive the 3rd primary Covid jab?
I am 81, 1 was on 4mg of Pred when vaccines arrived on the scene. I assume I was/am not classed as seriously immunosuppressed because I received no letter - but was simply rung by the surgery to make the appointments for jabs 1 and 2. (January and April) A week ago I received a text from my GP Practice

Cancer experts offer guidance on COVID-19 vaccination for patients with blood cancer, including Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL)
While not CLL specific, there shouldn't be any surprises here. However it is still worth repeating in an unlocked post for anyone with CLL looking for guidance. [i]A collaborative team of cancer experts from leading academic institutions and organizations has released recommendations for optimal protection

Government be damned

First cold since being immunosuppressed
Well. I wasn’t expecting this. I don’t even think this is the flu (and it’s not covid). Just a common cold and I can’t get out of bed. Any fast acting remedies? Xx

Quality of life on immunosuppressants
The side effects of the
immunosuppressants
have significantly decreased my quality of life. I felt better in kidney failure before dialysis started than I do now at five months post kidney transplant.

Probiotics - which ones and how many billions?!
Hello again! This time I’m asking if any of you take probiotics. I was told by a friend it may be a good idea to take them when on drugs long term. I went to a health food shop for advice but they didn’t know about ITP or Revolade which they thought was an immunosuppressant. 1. Is it safe and advisable
