Has anyone used cordyceps as an adjunctive treatment for kidney disease?
Cordyceps worm mold is widely used in China to treat kidney disease, and some scientific studies indicate that it may reduce creatinine values in patients with chronic kidney disease. I have never found found much personal benefit from it. Conclusions of recent Chinese study: "Current evidence shows

Travel Insurance with CLL (UK based)
I was diagnosed Stage 1 CLL in February. No treatment at present or planned. Any recommendations on travel insurance before I investigate further and declare to my existing insurer (free though my banking) or look elsewhere. Thanks.

Antibody results just said “yes,” not level
Last week I had an antibody test at my dermatologist’s (who has a vested interest in CLL) to see if my January and February Moderna jab produced antibodies. My impression was that this blood test would be “quantitative” rather than “qualitative,” meaning that it would at least give a general idea of

High HCG reading
Hi lovely Ladies I’ve just received the best news that my 3rd attempt has resulted in a big fat positive test, the thing that I’m worried about is my HCG is over 700 which is very high only 14 days after that little egg was put into me. Have anyone had the same thing happen and everything worked out

Sunday Lunches
My sister lives abroad and comes over to the UK each year for our summer months. Last year with all that was going on only stayed 4/5wks in case Barbados put the UK on their no entry list etc. I was fine meeting her at our favourite restaurants for Sunday lunch and/or even additional mid week, as

Transplant at age 68 or not
I've had myelofibrosis for about 30 years and been on ruxolitinib successfully for about 8 years. We have just moved to Scotland and my new consultant has laid it on the line that rux doesn't go on working for ever and my only other option is transplant. This seems right to me but I am very nervous about

Greater Understanding of PV, ET Drives Potential New Treatment Options
“Continued high-impact research may soon foster the development of disease-modifying therapies for PV and ET and satisfy this need for the optimal management of patients with these MPNs,” they said. Researchers are also determining how to best optimize current treatment options, including JAK inhibitors

Medication question
Can anyone tell me what would happen if your LH surge wasn’t suppressed in the short-protocol? I have just found out that I should have taken a medication called Fyremadel alongside 150 Bemfola and I hadn’t been because of miscommunication. Just to add, for anyone who would quite rightly deem me a

Looking back on my journey started just over 8yrs ago I can remember the GP telling me you have
chronic
lymphocytic
leukaemia
but not to worry my mother had it for years and didn’t need treatment (well she got that wrong) and sent me off with a print out saying you will get a appointment from the hospital

Pregnant with Low HCG Level
I had my Beta HCG test on Monday which came out positive. However the HCG number is 28 which is low. Will be having another blood test tomorrow to see if the number increases. I am really happy that my FET came out positive but I'm just really worried now about the result. Has anyone been in this situation

I have had both doses of the Pfizer vaccine, while they applauded me after I got my 2nd dose, 90 days later I found that I have no immunity!
I took Ibrutinib prior to January 20 when it gave me AFib and a few other problems, then stated Venetoclax in July of 2020, and in August started the first of six doses of Rituxan. It would seem that Rituxan is the main culprit, as in my research I found that no immunity was created in cases which

Cervix stenosis or closed cervix during IVF
Hi all, I have had LLetz 3 years ago and no one told me it may affect my fertility. Ultrasound also never showed it. Few days ago I had ET and doctor asked me -" What have they done to you?" Which i have mentioned I had LLETZ. He did something probably puncture with a tool to be able to put the catheter

At what point do you just give up
How many times are we going to allow ourselves to get pregnant and have 2 miscarriages and 5 chemical pregnancies. First round of ivf. Had to fight to get it as doctors didn't want us to have it as I can get pregnant Im just unlucky. How insensitive is that to say I'm just unlucky after seeing a pregnant

Should FISH test be repeated?
Does anyone know if the FISH test is repeated for people with stage zero CLL? I had the test when I was first diagnosed in December 2017, and assume it hasn’t been repeated because my office exam with my hematologist this month didn’t reveal swollen lymph nodes or enlarged spleen.
