Do other people find the injector pens are painful, intense stinging. Is there anything that can help this. Thank you.

Tocilizumab
I have GCA and PMR. I am on 40mg Pred. The inflammation markers have normalised, but I still have headaches. Doctors want to reduce Pred because of the side effects I am experiencing. I started Methotrexate injections, but they were paused for the last two weeks to see if they were causing the headaches

Just been approved for Vitamin B12 injection treatment.
hello everyone this is my first post. I have been experiencing many of the symptoms of functional b12 deficiency/pernicious anemia for close to 7 years. My doctor was reluctant for whatever reason to authorize the injections, even though I had a positive parietal cell antibody test. I guess my question

ATG treatment /Rabbit antigens
Hi as previously explained I am awaiting bone marrow transplant. Have been told I will need rabbit antigens or ATG ahead of the process. From what the consultant has said it can cause lots of side effects eg high temp amongst other things. Has anybody else had this treatment? Thanks Joanne

blood test bingo!
I've just been to Bristol stem cell department in preparation for a possible Stem cell transplant. I had to have 14 phials of blood taken for tests. Is this a record at one sitting? !!

GCA/PMR for over 5 years. Pred down to 6mg . Been taken off Tocilizumab but can’t tolerate other steroid sparers. Had appointment with Rheumie and blood test. CRP high so PET scan arranged. She has put me back up to 40mg as inflammation showing in all usual places. It feels like back to square 1. Has

ET accelerated progression
hi. I have had ET since 2004, treated with varying doses of HU and in later years also Peg. Apart from unstable platelets I have been relatively symptom free. Until this year! I have definitely struggled with HU, getting terrible mouth sores. I had a bone marrow biopsy recently which has confirmed

Off Tocilizumab after six months
I don't know where to start. My history will show I have GCA and PMR all diagnosed in 2019 after several misdiagnoses, and started treatment with Pred 15mg and then up to 25mg which helped the PMR and the GCA somewhat. I was then put on 20mg of Mexthetrate which did not agree with me. I change my

Non driving gene mutation-ASXL1
I have MF with JAK2 V617F for 10 years, now is taking Ruxotinib and Interferon . Spleen contraction and blood control are good. Although I took a lot of hormones, at least my fibrosis degree has been reversed, and the mutation rate has also decreased a lot. But I was found I have a new bad prognosis

I do not often write on here but it seemed these musing may be of interest to others so here goes... ONE of the great advantages I find from attending the courses run by the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Service (PRS) is comparison. And after today's session I feel encouraged. Not that I am significantly

Visit with new Hem/Onc Dr went well!
Hi Friends, I had my first visit with my new local doctor. He is Associate Head of Stem Cell Transplant Dept with Ochsner in Louisiana. He does not treat any cancers other than blood. He listened and verbalized understanding that my previous Dr’s were not a fit for me. He reviewed my BMB from Vanderbilt

ET progression to MF - anxiety issues
My ET is now progressing to Post ET Myelofibrisis. My hemo has recommended I start on Ruxolitinib & also to be considered for a stem cell transplant. I know some of you have been in the same situation. Am I correct in thinking MF is life limiting? Also how have any of you coped on Rux? I feel very
