Has Anyone Had A Problem With Vaccines?
My rheumatologist wants me to get the pneumonia vaccine and flu vaccine as well as another one. Just wondering has anyone had any problems taken vaccines and being on methotrexate?
I learned from my Rheumatologist that you have to be off Methotrexate week before , week of , week after for covid vaccine as for the other shots I don't know
No Problems just found my body to be more sore
Hello I did get my pneumonia vaccine, never did get a flu shot my entire life. As for Covid vaccine I had the two shots no boosters........ I feel that the covid vaccine stirred up my RA.
I hope that things work out for you either way.
No problems. I actually have been getting high dosage flu shots because of the immune suppressants. I’m five days out from one and haven’t noticed any increase or change in symptoms.
As for Covid vaccine: I wasn’t diagnosed when I had my Covid vaccinations, and therefore wasn’t on methotrexate. However, I worked in hospitals in various parts of the US as a traveling ultrasound tech and never contracted it.
I’ve been on methotrexate about two years now and it has been much easier for me to get sick with my immune system suppressed. Vaccinations may induce some symptoms of immune response, while your body learns to recognize the dead virus, but I choose to take the risk of that potential discomfort to prevent getting a more intense and debilitating versions
Also, I’m out of PTO, and I can time the vaccine. 😂
Re Covid booster: I’m going to get my booster in the new year and plan to ask my rheumatologist whether I need to titer off beforehand. I’ll report what happens.
I have had all the vaccines over the years, just had last covid injection, never had any problems
Vaccination
Has Arava Or Plaquenil Made Anyone Else's Hair Fall Out? I Stopped Taking Both (my Decision) But Now My Days Are Quite Rough.
