A dry cough, that has been with me for weeks
I have had a dry cough for weeks now. It's really really irritating. Doesn't keep me up at night, or not that I've noticed. But it does make me cough violently and sometimes wretch when it does come on. Today I am feeling a little wheezy too. Could this be hey fever / sinus related? Or linked to immune

How much immune suppression with biologics?
I've resisted biologics as I have Lyme as well as RA--Anyone know just how much these biologics suppress your immune system? We need some gas in the tank to fight the various viruses that will continue to be around, right? I can quite understand why we shouldn't enhance nitbweaken our immune systems

Methotrexate- a better option than Azathioprine? What other options are they with less harm for lupus people?
Hi, I'm new here and I suffer from Sjögrens syndrome and lupus, and I've been taking 200 mg Hydroxychloroquine since a couple of years back. Moreover, I've been taking 150 mg Azathioprine the latest months, which lowered my white blood cells extremely. The Numbers were so low that the doctors had to

Lupron Side Effects
The conversations here have been very helpful; so thanks everybody. I am curious about how quickly others who have had ADT (particularly Lupron) have experienced side effects. I am on my 11th day following my first shot. I felt a little sluggish at first and have had one or two flushes that may have

Still no immunosuppressant
Hello all. Looking to hear from your experience. I have myositis (still haven't told me exactly what kind but seems to me to be polymyositis) with secondary neuromuscular dysfunction (mimics MS). I was diagnosed last Spring. So far I have only been taking prednisone as it is not as severe as most. Last

Keytruda
A number of men have asked or commented about Keytruda, including Gus, Blair77 & DSim. New study below. The target of Merck's Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) is the receptor known as PD-1 (Programmed cell death protein 1), which suppresses T cell activity, thereby dampening the immune response. The concept

Travelling for work.
Every time I go I come back utterly drained and flare up, not to mention that we all travel in the same car and Being on
immunosuppressants
means I pick up every sniffle they all have.

Facial Sweating
I have searched this topic here and found it hasn't been discussed since 5 years ago. So here it goes again. I have terrible head sweats which seems to mostly roll down my face and especially comes from the sides of the upper part of my nose. I'm newly or barely diagnosed with Lupus and not on any immunosuppressive

C3d Protein Reverses Tumor-Mediated Immune Suppression
This could be another breakthrough or is it just too good to be true? Note: nothing specific about CLL but also nothing stated that would mean it should not be effective for our people if mouse model works in humans. Always an “If” isn’t there!

Barely Lupus
Hi, I recently tested positive for antinuclear antibodies, and my GP, or regular doctor, has said that it's highly probable that I have Lupus. Meanwhile, I'm just waiting to see the Rheumatologist on June 22, to under go more testing and get a definite diagnosis. My GP is a DO or Doctor of Osteopathy

Q&A with XTL Biopharmaceuticals CEO Josh Levine on a Promising New Treatment for Lupus
Current drugs like
immunosuppressants
only provide palliative care by making symptoms easier to live with. These

Should I inject or not? Advice please.
Was due to have my Benepali injection yesterday, but have postponed it for just now as I'm not sure if it's ok to or not. I developed a cough at the start of the week. Although I am not coughing anything up, it feels as though it is in my upper chest. What would you advise? My hospital helpline is only

Bell's Palsy post transplant
Hi folks, Had my TP. nearly 6 months ago. Was just starting to feel I was returning to life but have developed Bell's Palsy over the weekend. Inflammation of facial nerve has led to right side of face dropping, can't close right eye, eat & drink properly....all fun. Apparently being immunosuppressed

Point of view from the USA, from both a Lupus patient and GP (I'm them)
Since the medical system in the US is irretrievably broken and I have no idea how or when it will be fixed (and no energy left after nearly 20 years of GP practice [and now, in the past 30 months a triple diagnosis or SLE, Sjogren's and Hashimoto's thyroiditis] to go lobbying our useless government,

hidradenitis suppurativa
Does anyone else here sufffer with HS along side Lupus? I've tried load of different antibiotics, none have been successful. I'm waiting to start adalimubab but I don't know how much impact my immunosuppressive therapy agrivates the HS and therefore reduces effectiveness of treatment

Steroid versus immunosuppressant
I was diagnosed with PBC around 2006. And put on URSO, about 4 years ago my specialist thought that I had AIH overlap and put me on prednisone a liver biopsy was not conclusive and after a couple of years he recommended Immunosuppressant which made me really ill and took 5 weeks before I felt better
