Why is my Allosure number 2.4 but creatinine 1.4 and biopsy shows no rejection?

Hi. I am one year out, 99% HLAs. It's been a rodeo ride this last year because of my antibodies. This last year I have had 4 Allosure tests and underwent plasmapheresis and Rituxan treatments. The last Allosure shows 2.4 which is a pretty high rejection number. My creatinine has been consistent

Struggling with depression

Hi, I was reccomended this site by a social worker. I'm hoping maybe to find support on here. I'm a 21 year old female, and I've struggled with anxiety pretty much my entire life. About a year ago I was diagnosed with postpartum depression. Soon after, I started getting sick, and on December 3rd, 2019

Vestibular problems

Hi everyone! Been a long time since I’ve posted. Interesting day today. Saw neuro ophthalmologist today. I have all types of nystagmus. Says it’s probably peripheral vestibular malfunction and maybe something wrong with my ear canals/bones. Wants brain MRI and possible CT angio since I have a small brain

It is poignant to reflect on the long and colourful history
