A Quick Question About Immunosuppressants and Exposure to Chickenpox.
What I'm not clear about is whether having these antibodies provides
complete
protection against infection with chicken pox when also on
immunosuppressants
?

10 Weeks post Transplant
Anyway I am now on fortnightly visits to the post tx clinic and steroids have been lowered but still waiting for the
immunosuppressants
to be lowered so I can be relieved of this horrible symptom.

Levothyroxine therapy and impaired clearance are the strongest contributors to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
Given the prevalence of gut issues reported here, often (but not always) in those taking levothyroxine, I hope the existence of this paper helps. At least it is something to quote! Very interesting to know how adding liothyronine (T3) - or liothyronine-only - would be assessed. [i]World J Gastroenterol

Azathioprine advice?
I'm new to this site, and also
immunosuppressants
. My doctor just prescribed Azathioprine for active Crohn's, and as I am planning to return to Spain (from the US) for another school year, and won't be in the US with my regular doctor, it makes me kind of nervous.

My Big wet walk last week
our coats were waterproof but I had jeans on and they really didn't feel that good when wet, MrRfc had craghopper trousers on, he bought these post transplant as they have uv filter and equivalent to factor 50 and mossie protection as looking after his skin in the sun is top priority when you are on

Reprogrammed cells - The promise of 'IP' stem cells
"While treatments exist for the movement disorders caused by Parkinson’s, none of them actually halt progression. Replacing the brain cells destroyed in Parkinson’s holds the promise of actually reversing the disease." "The IPS cells appear to act virtually identically to embryonic stem cells, but

Septic Shock
My question is, will he have to go back to taking the
immunosuppressants
eventually and also, what do the steroids do on their own - just keep inflammation at bay? Thank you :)

Azathioprine advice?
My doctor changed his mind and decided to put me on Azathioprine instead of Humira-at least for the time being-while continuing with Uceris (budesonide tablets) for Crohn's flare. I've never been on an immunosuppressant, and have some concerns about doing so with a cancer history, and while overseas

Aih- unmedicated
I wanted to ask if anybody would share their experiences of living with type 1 aih. Especially if you are not taking any form of immunosuppression. My daughter was diagnosed 3 years ago and decided to stop taking her meds 8months ago, against her consultants advice, She is having fortnightly bloods and

Immunosuppressive?
Hi Everyone, after a mild first time shingles outbreak my dentist is hoping I'm not immunosuppressed. I'm ET jak2+ on HU 500 mg 3x wk Is our immune system suppressed? My heme had said once that HU suppressed the bone marrow. Is that correct and are they the same thing? Now of course I'll worry about

Cancer patients' grey hair unexpectedly darkens in drug study
I know most of the forum discussion about hair centres on loss, rather than greyness, but I am quite sure this somewhat odd story will be of interest to many. It might also be seen to pick up on the mention the other day of using immunosuppressive medicines against Hashimoto's.

Yoga has helped my mobility and muscular pain
I have tried everything under the sun to ease my pain over the last 7 years. After ending up in hospital with pneumonia last year after starting a new immunosuppressant I decided that was the final straw. I didn't want the toxic side effects of these drugs if they didnt even take all of the pain away

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
