L-Tryptophan supplements to aid sleep issues
My husband DX'd in 2017, had been taking 10 mg of melatonin, mainly to help with startling outbursts while sleeping (mostly yelling, strong jerking motions). He hit me on the head once thinking he was playing volleyball. It got so bad, we bought a king sized bed and I started putting a long body pillow

eGFR 71 and Creatinine slightly raised - Stage 2 CKD or not?
Hi Everyone, I’m wondering if I should be concerned, I’m 38 and my most recent egfr was 71 and my creatinine just slightly raised. My egfr has continued to decline for quite a few years but my creatinine hasn’t been out of range before. I have Sjogrens Syndrome, Anti- phospholipid syndrome and other

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.

Scientists identify virus-cell interaction that may explain COVID-19's high infection rate.
Lehigh researchers quantify the specific interaction between the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — with the ACE2 receptors in human cells that may partially explain its high infection rate compared to SARS-CoV-1. Bioengineering researchers at Lehigh University have identified

Shielding and Furlough.
Hi all, I've just seen a post from Maz about a letter for Gp's regarding people with MPN's being clinically vulnerable and how to add them to the shielding list. This raises questions for me... I have been furloughed throughout Covid19 and as a result have only received 80% of my wage for a full year

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
