Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Hi All; How about doing a head count for statistic's sake: I get a yearly flu shot and the vaccine does snot interfere with my MTX nor prednisone.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 I've gotten my flu shots for years...I've been on Plaquenil, Arava, Methotrexate alone, Enbrel & Mtx, Remicade & Mtx, Kineret during these years, and on Humira and Mtx together for over 2 years now. Prior to my great weight loss, I was on hundreds of units of insulin and 2 oral diabetes meds daily, plus quite a few other drugs. I have had no problems at all with the flu shots, and absolutely no flu bugs in all those years. Love & hugs... Tess Quote
