Dangers of drinking alcohol with a kidney transplant ?
What are peoples experiences with drinking alcohol ? My son is 21 and doing very well 9 months post kidney transplant. I know he will feel peer pressure to perhaps imbibe on occasion. What are the dangers? I am worried he will make a bad decision and not much I can do about it.

Information for people in the UK on Tocilizumab (Ro-Actemra) injections
Hello, and apologies for not posting for such a long time. As one of the few (and greatly privileged) LVV-GCA sufferers in the UK lucky enough to have been prescribed subcutaneous Tocilizumab injections, I have a couple of items of news.

A Happy Rebirthday message from Jaycee.
Many of you may remember Jaycee. She used to be a frequent contributor on this site. She has asked me to pass on a message. On this day in 2019, at the ripe young age of 68, Jaycee underwent her liver transplant The months leading up to that transplant was indeed a worrying time, full of uncertainties

Diabetes Type 2, PD and Berberine
Diabetes is a common disease that affects many Americans and 90 to 95% of diabetics have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). I will be discussing T2DM and one option to help deal with it effectively based on multiple studies. Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is significantly less common so I will focus this discussion

Update after BMB
It's been awhile since my first BMB, but have been recovering & processing the results. I had a hard time with sedation & took me some time to reset myself from that ordeal (getting sick, having two veins blow out with blood draws & iv). I lost weight & only weighed at 104 lbs that day! I was diagnosed

Hi I have just discovered this group and for my first post I though I would post my heart problems story. Last year I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and had a severe case of heart failure. I had just turned 38 at the time. I had a bad case of flu for a few weeks before the diagnosis. All
