Alcohol - Minimum unit pricing Wales.
Here is a completely new thread about minimal pricing of alcohol, within Great Britain. As you’ll all be aware, back in May 2018 Scotland introduced minimum pricing of alcohol. I have pointed out on this site before, how this was (in my opinion) a missed opportunity. Had this extra pricing been introduced

Reducing tocilizumab injections
I was told to try to take my tocilizumab injections every 4 weeks but struggled so much I have taken this last one after 3 weeks, before that 3 1/2 weeks twice. Does anyone have any experience of reducing the injections. I am feeling increasingly ill, sweating, extreme tiredness - signs the GCA is back

Levels for kidney transplant
I am over 3 yrs transplant. Does anyone who has a few years still have Tac levels up and down, and creatinine go higher after a few years? My doctor doesn't seem to worry. After 3 yrs, I still go up and down with my medicine. I take Envarsus. (Time release Tac) I have to get labs more often. I do everything

5000th Liver Transplant at QE
Attended 'The 5000th Liver Transplant at QE' celebration in Birmingham and a wonderful nurse came up to me who I recognised, 'Yokai'. This wonderful lady looked after my family and myself during the time I arrived at the QE at 2pm on 5th Oct 2016 up to the time I was wheeled into theatre at 2.10am early

CLL, Bone Marrow Transplant and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Can’t really answer this as I haven’t had one for my CLL. Am 76 years old. Issue of bone marrow transplant has been raised several times in my CLL “career” ( 16 years ). My specialists have told me that I am too old for such a procedure. In fact one of them said it would probably kill me. And that response

Major breakthrough in the treatment of leukemia
[i]Bone marrow aspirate showing Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). Several blasts have Auer rods. Wikipedia [/i] [i] [/i] This article out of the University of Montreal seems to hold some promise for the treatment of AML. Rather than just posting a link I thought it might be easier for all to read this extract

Six pack after transplant- possible? :)
Hi guys, I hope you are doing well. I have a bit of a random question but want to see what your opinion is. I am very grateful to have received a liver transplant over one year ago now. Due to the nature of my operation I was left (intentionally) with an incisional hernia which I am hoping will be repaired

Stem Cells!
My 22 year old son has Primary MF and one of his sisters is a 10/10 stem cell match for him - a wonderful thing for us all to hear after we discovered that a stem cell transplant is currently his only avenue for cure. My daughter is keen to raise awareness of the need for more people to register as

Robotics Pancreas transplant - New hope for obese type 1 diabetes
Pancreas transplant is a standard procedure for type 1 diabetes so that one can avoid insulin. However, many type1's are denied especially if he/she is obese. Now with Robotics transplant , it is easier to perform the transplant even for an obese Type 1. https://speciality.medicaldialogues.in › ...

IS CHRONIC CIRROSIS A DEATH SENTENCE?
Forum members, My son who is 34 is in hospital with this condition. He has been an alcohol abuser for many years, and this is his first admittance to hospital. If his liver cannot recover or repair itself, and without having a liver transplant, is there no hope for our sons recovery? Worried Woollid

As of yesterday..I’m on the national registry!
I’ve been absent from the forum for a while due to illness. A month after I lost my husband, I ended up in the ICU. My H and H was 6 and 19 I think. I was bleeding from my esophageal varicies. They identified the bleed and tied them off. My liver was close to not functioning at all, and because of the

Anxious about liver fibroscan results!
I have had fatty liver disease and now NASH (presumably). I have had 3 fibroscans 6 months apart and I'm now Stage 3 Fibrosis. kPa was 5.4, then 7.5 and now 11.4. CAP was 328, 306, and now 216. I am scared out of my mind. I just retired, and I feel like I'm going to drop dead in a year now. I'm not ready
