Complications After Kidney Transplant
After kidney transplant, the patient is very prone to infection. Three contributive factors are as following. First, the major surgery on blood vessel and urinary system temporarily decrease patient immune ability. Secondly, for kidney failure patients, their absolute immunity is low then normal person

DILEMMA
I have a very dear friend who is very poorly in hospital with necrossa pancreaitis. I am a WG patient in remission, on 10mg prednisolone and azathioprine, so immunosuppressed. My dilemma is do I go to hsp to visit my very close friend (she isn't alone, she has family ) and therefore put myself at risk

Increase in immunosuppressants having some good results.
4-5 weeks ago my rheumy upped the azathioprine to the highest dose I've been on (200mg per day) , slowly but surely I'm able to do more than I have done for around 9 months. Small steps but able to walk a bit further, spend time with friends and family without arriving home exhausted and spending days

Afternoon All Well after having the run around from the medical profession I have finally come to the end of my tether and told my GP yesterday and then fired off a scud missile of an email to my useless gastroenterologist today!! He actually replied within 20 mintues of me sending email.....

..on a Happier Note...
Despite my kind of terrible afternoon at my Remicade infusion, I did get to finally see my rheumatologist after waiting over four months to get an appt. with him. Luckily his clinic is in the same building as the Remicade clinic, so I got to hobble over with my i.v. pole to see him. I finally can feel

Does immune suppression make you more likely to have a more severe reaction to a bee sting?

Thyroid cancer
Hi all this is my 1st ever blog. I've been in remission for 5yrs after total thyroidectomy and removal of 52 lymph nodes due to papillary cancer that had spread. I also have Crohn's disease and ankylosing spondilytis it's thought an immunosuppressant caused the cancer. After radioactive iodine treatment

Consequences of stopping the immunosuppressants?
When I was suffering from a bad dose of campylobacter enteritis recently, my consultant advised me to stop taking mycophenolate mofetil. He did say to re start once I thought the infection had gone, which is now. However, I feel well and am wondering if I should just start taking them again or wait

I.V. steroid injections? Anyone?
I couldn't tolerate any of the
immunosuppressants
I was on because they just made me more sick and miserable.

High LDH and Behcet's?
I had this scare already last summer when my LDH had doubled within two weeks, so there was fear about Lyphoma because of the
immunosuppressants
and Remicade treatments I am on.

Autoimmune cholangiopathy
I'm being treated with
immunosuppressants
- at present prednisolone, and to begin on azathioprine in a few weeks too. So my question for you all is this: Is it similar to 'AMA negative PBC'? Or is it another condition? Has anyone else got it?

Fluid retention and immunosuppressant drugs
There have been several past postings relating to ascites and oedema flowing from liver disease and particularly cirrhosis but I am inquiring to ascertain whether anyone knows if immunosuppressant drugs could also be another one of the causes for one or both of these conditions or for symptoms that mimic

To Introduce Myself and Ask A Question :)
(i.e. with symptoms controlled by
immunosuppressants
)... I have a full time job - an area manager for a parcel company which is pretty fast paced, hectic, pressured - and obviously having had this flare up I have been off work - 2 months so far.

Bowel transplants, bike rides and biopsies
I am reliably informed that the reason for the heightened risk of it returning is due to being a transplant patient and being on
immunosuppressants
. The end result is that I will now have 3 monthly checks for life. Yet again I am incredibly privileged to receive amazing care at Oxford.

Response to Sue about severe headaches
More aggressive treatments would include
immunosuppressants
and chemo drugs. You can do some online searches for Behcet's headaches and discuss these options with a physician who believes you and is willing to help. I really hope you find something that gives you relief.

Feeling Blue :(
I have Lupus with secondary APS and after nearly five years of suffering with excruciating pain in my legs, bleeding in my joints, strokes, TIA’s etc etc I finally went for a private consultation in Barcelona as I could no longer tolerate the lack of knowledge about both diseases at my local hospital

MY JUICING EPIPHANY - my kitchen has become my home-made pharmacy ;)
After 10years plus of taking a cocktail of
immunosuppressants
, as well as spending most of last year on antibiotics for the digital ulcers on my fingers, I hit a turning point in December 2012.
