Best genetic mutation test?
My husband’s RO ordered the Invitae genetic saliva test, and we’ve received results showing he does not have genetic mutations on the genes they tested (84 genes I think). The problem is I don’t see some important mutations on their test, such as CDK12 or others. What is the “best” or most comprehensive

Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF)
Heads up to those undergoing cardiac ablation for Afib…had my ablation 12/6/23. Everything went great! Been in normal rhythm ever since! No bleeding, no hematoma, no real discomfort. However I woke up to abdominal pain, pain between shoulder blades and sore throat. 3 nights post op woke up to a burning

stem cell transplant survival with MF
This link gives some figures for overall survival with or without a transplant. The headline really is the initial mortality close to the transplant is only worth risking if your MF is quite bad. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7218417/

Foraminotomy
has anybody had a posterior endoscopic foraminotomy? In particular for bone spurs. I could be looking at this surgery once injections have been exhausted. Would be interested in hearing from people about how they found it, did it work, and crucially what was your post op experience like, pain levels,

Things, regimens,etc that are probably RLS worthless.
THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK FOR RLS All of us with RLS/PLMD have slightly different symptoms. We have tried various 'remedies' to try to relieve our RLS symptoms. We have read articles, some interesting, some ridiculous (bar of soap) that make amazing promises. And there is an entire array of things to

Anyone turn down a stem cell transplant?
I have post ET MF. Currently I'm on Rux and getting monthly cycles of 5 aza. I don't need transfusions. Day to day I feel pretty good and can do most of what I want. The SCT was recommended because of the risk of progression to AML. I'm finding the decision making to get the SCT very difficult. My

First SI, the pain, ouch!
Hello everyone, Asking for help again on my SI journey please 🙏 Yesterday I did my first IM injection into the thigh following a video by a UK GP. It hurt much less than the one I had done in the arm at a clinic 2 weeks ago (to check no allergic reaction) so I thought great, this is the way to go

weird mouth symptoms on Sulfasalazine
Has anyone experienced anything like the following? I’ve been on Sulf for 7 weeks, max dose from 4 weeks. In the last 3 days I’ve had a sore tongue which has now settled but I’ve completely lost my sense of taste. I’ve tested and am negative for covid. I can’t think what else it could be!

i’m a 43-year-old guy who’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s for five years. The meds for Parkinson sort of help. I’ve tried lots and lots of things, but the thing that made me feel the very best was B12. I think I have pernicious, anemia and Parkinson’s. I also have a very low B2 levels. If I don’t
