A further update on the old taper journey ...
Hello again friends on this long and treacherous journey, I am reporting back with some good news, yay! While I have remained on the three weekly (rather than weekly or fortnightly) tocilizumab routine, my inflammation has remained under control, so far. I have just moved to 1.75mgs pred on my cautious

Can we regenerate damaged organs in the lab?
I responded to someone’s question earlier about the need for liver transplants in the future. While looking at some videos online, I came across this one entitled “Can we regenerate damaged organs in the lab?”. I felt this video story which was put up recently (Feb 21) was just too good a story to warrant

Abnormal CBC reports after 1st dose of covid vaccine. Immature Granulocytes is 0.40bil/L and 7.1%.
It’s been 14 months I had my kidney transplant surgery. I took my 1st dose of Pfizer 19 days back. Today got my blood work done and the results are abnormal. Doctor said it might be due to reaction with steroids. Please let me know if anyone else experienced similarly. Also now I am scared to take the

Auto Stem Cell transplant?
Hi, Curious to know if anyone out there has had R-chop, then relapsed and the next line of treatment recommended was SCT? I've been battling Marginal Zone lymphoma (2016), transformed to DLBCL (2018) and now it's back again. The auto process sounds very scary (dangerous), and with a 30-50% success rate

Had anyone had the Covid antibody test?
Saw a webinar in which it was suggested that a fairly small study showed people taking tocilizumab, mycophenelate, predisilone or methatrixate might only be covered 35-55% for the Covid vaccine. I am taking three of these. It recommended an antibody test - it was the SARS COVID anti spike test I think

John Hopkins Medicine organ transplant/covid vaccine study results in mid March2021:few if any antibodies made
Curious if your transplant clinic or nephrologist contacted you about getting the covid vaccine. My spouse was told to get the Pfizer if he could get his hands on it where we live and he did and had both shots without problems. Mid March 2021 a study from John Hopkins medicine came out showing volunteers

Denied Transplant due to Calcification. Need help.
I have a friend that has been denied a 2nd kidney transplant b/c they say his arteries have calcification over them. They are unable to put it on the left side where the first transplant was, and as I said, the other side has calcification so he was denied. He's looking for a hospital that can do

Probably the greatest dilemma of my life.
Currently going through double lung transplant assessments due to IPF.One strict no go which strikes you off the list is cancer as , quite rightly, donated healthy lungs should go to those who have a longer chance of survival . Now the dilemma... discovered a great lump in my neck which may or may not

Harefield Lung Transplant
Hi, I am on the lung transplant list at QE Hospital Birmingham, but surgery there is still suspended and will be until June at the earliest. I am therefore going to be seen at Harefield in the hope I can go on their list. I’ve been on Birmingham’s list since July, but with no transplants since January

Butterfingers! Feeling frustrated and poor.
I am dyspraxic, which means that I have always been extremely clumsy and have terrible executive functioning. With advancing age, my dyspraxia has also meant that I have also experienced increasing aphasia - I can often see/hear the word in my brain, it just doesn't make it to my mouth. Since being on
