immunosuppression, Covid, and back to office policies
Is there anyone else whose reasonable accommodation request to telecommute full time due to immunosuppression during Covid was completely disregarded and treated with disdain? I am pursuing legal action and looking for others who have experienced similar discrimination

Lupkynis approved in Switzerland to treat adults with lupus nephritis
The approval specifically covers the treatment, given along
immunosuppressants
, for adults with active class 3, 4, and 5 lupus nephritis — three subtypes of the condition that are based on the type of tissue damage visible on a kidney biopsy.

Anyone on biologics and suffering leg ulcers
The nurses and gps at my surgery, keep saying it’s fine to continue

, as long as I don’t have an infection. I have only had one infection that was recently and required 2 weeks of antibiotics.

Senescent neutrophils and their subsequent impact on tumor progression and therapy resistance
I will comment after studying this for awhile, but it does open up an additional treatment path(s?) for PCa. (Excerpts) Calcinotto's team discovered that prostate tumor cells produce a molecule, ApoE, which can bind to and influence a type of immune cells, neutrophils, resulting in these cells acquiring

RA and probiotics?
Hello does anyone know if us RA sufferers can take probiotics ? I use probiotic yoghurts when on antibiotics to put back the good bacteria, but I wondered if too many good bacteria actually made RA worse ? it's all part of the immune system.. I read a while ago that immunosuppressant drugs killed

Wrist fusion (arthrodesis) and using a computer
I am right-handed and my right wrist is full of erosions, following a bad flare that started in 2015 and was difficult to get under control with
immunosuppressants
. Since then I have had little movement in the wrist, but the movement has not reduced so I don't think it is fusing naturally.

Immunosuppressants and COVID vaccine
Which vaccine is best for the immunosuppressed and have a primary immunodeficiency? I can't find any information on Novavax for the immunosuppressed. Does anyone know if the adjuvant it has is okay for us to take? I have searched and searched and cant find anything about it. Thank you.

Feeling Rubbish
Hi everyone just need a bit of advice and not sure it's related to crohn's but recently, like about the last 4 weeks, I feel like I have a cold. Hot sweats, stuffy head blocked nose which is adding to the impossible fatigue. I'm working from home today as I feel bloody awful and have a bad headache too

Ravid Straussman & the Tumor Biome

contact with chicken pox
Hi all One of our grandchildren has chicken pox. It is not completely clear for how long as spots came gradually but he could have been infectious when we stayed there last Thursday/ Friday. I'm on a JAK Baricitinib and my husband on Imraldi. We have both had chicken pox. However, being immunosuppressed
