Immuosuppressed and Covid Vaccines Webinar

Even for those not immunosuppressed, inputting on the Zoe app daily, listening to Tim Spector's weekly updates and Zoe's occasional webinars is both useful and interesting.

That is a major worry, Marydoll.

The biologic I am on has been used in Covid ICU with promising results. However, this has caused a worldwide shortage, which has directly affected me. My injections are being delivered sporadically, which is very worrying to say the least.

*shysal*, there is so much conflicting advice at the moment. That is why I have registered for the webinar.

I inject biologics once a week and was told not to stop them, before having the vaccine. My RA consultant himself admitted to having a lack of information. What hope do the rest of us have!

Marydoll some existing medicines are being trialled for use in the future in the fight against Covid.
I'm not sure if some are biologics or not; there does seem to be a lack of awareness about this in the medical profession, even amongst those who prescribe them for other conditions.

Thank you Lizzie72 and Marydoll.

Lizzie, thank you.

The page should look like this.

Marydoll I've tried that link but it brings up a webinar that was evidently held in March this year. Am I missing something?!

You’re welcome!

AcornFairy it keeps the thread visible to users.
The Active List is just that. Threads that have recently been commented on.
That’s why I ‘bumped’ it.
People may not need or want to post on it, but we want as many people as possible to see it.

Thank you for explaining FannyCornforth.

Thank Fanny! I am not expecting any replies, but thought the fair number on GN, who are immunosuppressed, may be interested.

I'm bumping this, as it's falling of the ^Active list^

Sorry Marydoll but I don't understand. Please can you translate!

Bump!

Thanks Marydoll, I will have a look.
I had my booster vaccine on Saturday, but yesterday I received a letter from Rheumatology telling me to withhold the Methotrexate for a week afterwards. Too late, I took it on Wednesday! I asked them about this before the initial jab and was informed that there was no need to change anything, so I am sure there will be no problem. I did get my antibodies checked a while ago and found I had the highest level of protection, which surprised and pleased me!
