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

Hi, Folks. I am joining as a newly diagnosed SLL patient, currently under treatment with BTKi and Gazyva. So far, I have read through many posts and have been comforted by your experiences and ways of coping with our ongoing immunity issues. I honestly feel very confident that these new treatments

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? !!

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

Finishing line for Pirtobrutinib (Loxo) & Venetoclax combination trial.
I have just completed the 2 year combination clinical trial with Pirtobrutinib and Venetoclax - I think a small study of us in Australia. ( Also worldwide) This has resulted in no detectable cancer in my blood and lymph nodes- woohoo! My last Bone Marrow test showed just outside the non detectable parameter

Are there any targeted drugs that only kill cancerous wbc?
I have very high wbc,and will probably be given calquence which I thought only targeted cancerous cells, however, after talking to my consultant apparently this is not true. I don't understand why it is called a targeted drug if it kills healthy red and white blood cells, leaving you vulnerable

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

Comparison can be good for the soul...
I do not often write on here but it seemed these musing may be of interest to others so here goes...
