Rising Lymphocytes
About 6 months back I asked that a steroid be administered prior to IVIG that I receive every 4 weeks. Coincidentally, my lymphocytes began to rise and are now in the 90%+ range. Wondering whether others may have experienced a similar result? thanks, Dennis, Venetoclax

Covid-Induced ITP Recovery Questions
At the end of August 2022, I was diagnosed with covid-induced ITP. I only caught it because all my extremities were covered in little red dots (petechiae). I made a freaking-out visit to the ER, and they diagnosed me after they did labs and my platelet count came back 0. All these weeks later (October

Need help in understanding immunoglobulins..
I have a question about IGG. I have noticed IGG is slipping gradually. Now at 6.25. I keep reading the term IVIG on this site and I am wondering will we all have to have IVIG eventually as this disease progresses? As the number lowers, does it mean we will have more infections or hospitalizations

IVIG recommended
I’m currently in remission after my one year Obinutuzumab and Venetoclax treatment. It’s been one year since finishing the Obinutuzumab infusions and my IGG counts remain quite low. My oncologist is recommending IVIG infusions. Has anyone had these? How were the infusions tolerated? Thank you!

Please help! RLS is very bad, also have leukemia, hemochromatosis and severely low immune globulins. Never heard of augmentation till read
Hi RLS community, I just joined. I have had RLS for 23 years but it has been fairly successfully treated with Mirapex although I have been on the max dose for a couple of years. I have been focusing on my other problems and not the RLS because as long as I took the pills by 7pm I could go to bed.

Doctor cannot fully diagnose without bone marrow biopsy and PET scan?
Update Results: Hello i did have the cyclometery test done, but i didnt put it here before. Is thaat the same as a FISH test? Here are my results: An abnormal CD5-positive B cell population accounts for approximately 35% of lymphocytes and 13% of total events. This population shows kappa restriction

Newly Released Real World Mavenclad Study
My neuro is contemplating switching me from Ocrevus to Mavenclad once my immune system is in better shape. This study gives me pause because it states: “Moreover, we identified better outcomes in patients exposed to a lower number of previous DMTs, suggesting that cladribine might be more effective when

Good news and Bad news?
( IGHV mutated, No 17P or TP53 deletion and borderline for 13Q 6.5% and W&W for 18 years) I recently had bloods drawn and to my surprise WBC went down from 29K to 24K and Hgb is holding steady at between 10.5 - 11.0. However, platelets have fallen to 62 from 72 in just about four months. Otherwise

Which blood test results do you watch?
In 2020 I had some abnormal
immunoglobulin
readings, and elevated white blood cell count. That issue seemed to resolve itself. My question is - what other kinds of tests, aside from liver enzymes, do all of you watch during this journey?

Hi HealthUnlocked Fertility Warriors! I hope everyone is hanging in there. After 7 rounds of egg collections in 2019 (aged 42) and 2020 (aged 43), I ended up collecting 6 PGS normal embryos which I froze. I then took a break over Covid to recover, physically and mentally. After much preparation: weight
