Dating and kissing for young adults with kidney transplant
Please answer only if you have gone through the same situation. How do you do to avoid rejection when meeting a potential romantic partner? I wear a mask in closed public places. All women I met when they know that I have a kidney transplant start to keep distance and do not give me a chance to

How often to Self Inject
Hello all. I was just wondering what you all think about how often we should inject with Vit B12. I had been taking shots since about last Dec of 22, but even though it helped, didn't help much. So after finally being diagnosed with PA, I told my wife to inject me every day for 30 days to sort of give

Tocilizumab
I have had a BCC removed from the side of my nose. One of my rheumatology nurses told me that there is an incidence of Tocilizumab causing cancerous growths. It did pop up out of nowhere and I was shocked when the dermatologist told me that it was a slow growing cancer. Has anyone heard of this link?

Should I switch SSRIs?
Hi all, I’ve been on sertraline for around 14 years on varying dosages. Most recently I was on 150mg, but over the past few weeks I’ve been coming down and I’m now on 50mg, in preparation for a switch to Paroxetine. I take sertraline as I was originally diagnosed with OCD and also had an eating disorder

Tocilizumab in the UK
I thought it may be helpful to share my Rheumy appointment yesterday. I have GCA and PMR and due to various reasons cannot tolerate Steriods. Instead I am treated with Methotrexate and tocilizumab which I received for a year as in standard in the UK. I was worried about what would happen when year expired

angry about kidney transplant?
I received a kidney transplant about a year ago. I was donated a live one. However, I was very uncertain about transplant, and feel like I was pushed into having one due to other people’s insistence, amongst other things. As such, I am very resentful and angry. additionally, everyone treats my donor

AF Medications
I have had AF for a few months now, I have also attended A & E four times recently with palpations and chest pains. Each time they have given me either, sometimes both, potassium or magnesium intravenously. I have also had a kidney transplant (4 years ago). They cannot give me any more medication

Adrenals
Morning everyone. This is my first post on here. I was diagnosed with GCA in August 2022 and have been tapering down the Prednisolone to 5mg. I also take Tocilizumab and Methotrexate as I’ve had a difficult time with the Prednisolone so many side effects. How do I know if my adrenal glands are working

There’s no point to this post
Hi everyone, hope you’re all as well as can be. I’m approximately 3 1/2 years into this PMR. Sometimes it gets me down. I’ve been trying to start Humira for Ankylosing Spondylitis again, but the delivery company have been an absolute NIGHTMARE! It’s been so long since I last took it that I’m wondering
