Third COVID-19 vaccine dose may prompt response in transplant recipients.
A third dose of the mRNA-1273 vaccine induces a serologic response in 49 percent of kidney transplant recipients who did not respond after receiving two doses, according to a research letter published online July 23 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Ilies Benotmane, M.D., from Strasbourg

Has anyone used cordyceps as an adjunctive treatment for kidney disease?
Cordyceps worm mold is widely used in China to treat kidney disease, and some scientific studies indicate that it may reduce creatinine values in patients with chronic kidney disease. I have never found found much personal benefit from it. Conclusions of recent Chinese study: "Current evidence shows

Husband Update
It seems like so long since I’ve updated, but it’s been only a few months. Husband is doing… ok. We’ve just received news that they've found a donor for his stem cell transplant and is scheduled to be admitted at the end of next month. It’s all become very, very real. The kids and I won’t be able

Tocilizumab treatment?
A friend of mine recently suggested that I try the monoclonal antibody tocilizumab as a treatment for my PMR. My questions are as follows: Has tocilizumab brought anyone into remission and for how long? On balance, is treatment with tocilizumab preferable to the prednisone that I'm taking now? What is

Just some food for thought, and sharing some news
Any opportunity to raise awareness of liver disease should be grasped with both hands, as you never always know where this advice and support will one day lead. For the past few years, I have been helping my 21-year old next-door neighbour with her studies to become a psychiatric, mental health nurse

Cirrhosis and hepatitis
Hi Everyone, My brother in law is in the hospital with alcohol cirrhosis and hepatitis C. Without a transplant he will not survive. Does anyone know if the hepatitis is a significant factor for receiving a transplant? Or is it mostly the precursor to cirrhosis? My husband had a liver transplant in September

Tacrolimus/Advagraf and Ginger
Has anyone ever had a doctor tell them they cannot have ginger while on Tacrolimus? When you search online for contraindications to Tacrolimus, it lists pomegranates, grapefruit, pomelo, star fruit and ginger. However, the medical information sheet I get from the pharmacy only says to avoid grapefruit

Roactemra Tocilizumab - lab out of stock - advice needed please.
Some of you may remember that I am taking Tocilizumab injections (only) regularly for GCA. Not long ago, others in my situation wrote saying that they had been warned that it was going to run out for a while due to the same drug being used world wide for covid patients. This has happened here in France

A break during 10k
Does anyone else ever stop for a couple of minutes for a break during their 10k run? I tend to run on the treadmill and have recently started doing 10k runs after eventually completing c25k. About half the time I can do it without stopping whilst the rest of the time I find myself needing to stop for

Immune Compromised Patients May Get 3rd Vaccination
I mentioned this story in a reply I just made to a different Post, and decided it was too important a story to leave only in that reply. So I'm now posting about it. In essence my blood test at Quest Labs to see if my two vaccine shots resulted in any antibodies came back "NONE" I've been a little

CDC advisers to consider additional coronavirus dose for immunocompromised patients. Meeting scheduled for July 22
A federal advisory panel is expected next week to consider whether health-care workers should be allowed to give additional coronavirus shots to patients with fragile immune systems, even as top U.S. health officials have said an additional dose of vaccine is not widely needed. The prospect of booster

Is it common for CLL patients to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as treatment?
Hi guys! My husband was looking around for information and he found about this, we were wondering if this is a common treatment? Thank you very much!

Immunocompromised? Why the COVID-19 vaccine might still protect you
COVID-19 vaccinations may not offer as much protection to people with compromised immune systems, but just how much appears to be driven by the type of underlying condition, new research suggests. "People with conditions that compromise their immune systems exhibit a wide spectrum of antibody responses
