That is not one of the typical side effects. Has any one asked you about side effects?

How many have got their vaccination for Covid-19?

Who else participated in this study?

That is impressive. Your state must be doing a great job in getting the vaccine out.

My local internist told me to get the vaccination when it becomes available. He estimates it will be at least two or three months for me even though I am on three high priority lists, age, health...

One article indicated that because of the prior research they had the knowledge a week after the virus was identified to make the vaccine for it. If they had rushed into production then and...

Has anyone received any recommendations on whether the vaccine is safe for us taking...

Have you asked about a referral to Mayo since they often like challenging cases? You could also self referral but a good doctor will generally support and facilitate a referral for a second opinion.

I can't walk a straight line unless I use a cane or walking stick. I lose my balance often. I seldom hit the floor as I usually fall into a chair or bed or catch myself against the wall or some item...

I have had this done a couple times. I had a cholestotoma that had to be removed several times. It had caused a permanent perforation in my ear drum and destroyed my middle ear and caused infection...

Glad you are finally diagnosed and improving again. It is also unfortunate although impressive that you had to go on a cruise and get seriously ill to get the correct diagnosis and treatment. Many...

As we celebrate Thanksgiving day in the USA, even in the midst of our pandemic surge which is the worst it's ever been in our area with new cases and a high infection rate, there are still things to...

The Vasculitis Foundation also has some good educational webinars and fund raising events too. They are a good resource for us.

Welcome to our elite group. Sorry you had to qualify for admission, but I'm very impressed with the good medical care that you got in a quick diagnosis and getting appropriate treatment. You are very...

These are all frequent and common symptoms of GPA and many of these will persist even when you will be considered in remission. Those of us who have been dealing with GPA symptoms and been in...

Nosebleeds are usually the first symptom I have of my GPA residual symptoms flaring or increasing when I try to cut my prednisone dosage down too low. They were also my first indication and first...

The info and thought is still valid today.

Sorry to hear about your dual diagnosis. I was told after my initial treatment for Wegener's granulomatosis that I would be at high risk for several forms of cancer because of the treatment I...
