When were you going to mention I had early CKD? Oh I see, stage II isn’t anything to worry my little head about 😠
As my profile name implies, I have spent 20+ years in the healthcare industry. It took longer than I’d like to admit to awakening to how broken, corrupted and frankly dangerous this “Healthcare Industrial Complex” is. I recently had my annual exam with a PCP that I have always had great respect for

Ureter Restriction from Radiation Treatments?
While I don't have any symptoms (yet), a CT scan and ultrasound tests show that the lower part of my right ureter tube is very narrow and causing the kidney to swell, apparently from restricted flow of urine through the ureter. My University of Chicago Medicine urologist suspects scarring in the ureter

Just a touch away: CT-optimal touch perception and its influence on pain and itch
Psychologist Larissa Meijer has discovered that gentle caresses from a partner can provide relief from chronic pain. This treatment has no side effects and can be done at home. It should normally be free too 🙂 Meijer has demonstrated the effect of light stroking on pain and itchiness in Parkinson's

Ivermectin may help with cancer treatments
Studies of various chronic myeloid leukemia cell lines show that ivermectin kills these lines by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and the production of free radicals. In mice with leukemia, ivermectin increases the influx of chloride ions in the cells, promoting cell death. When ivermectin is combined

What a week!! (Starting HD, continued)
Where was I? Ah, yes. I had just spent 3 days in the hospital getting in-patient dialysis for my first three rounds. Low Venous Flowrate, but they seemed to handle it, and ordered a Fistulagram. So, this past Monday, I drove to Duluth (114 miles, door to door) for that procedure, done in the Interventional

Going back to work
I’m 6 weeks post kidney transplant. I’ve been given 8 weeks to return to work from my doctor. I was surprised at the limited time I had. I never really talked about going back till 12 weeks through my FMLA, but he thinks 8 weeks is enough. I work in a clinic with over 30 people and I’m concerned with

shrinking lung syndrome
Has anyone else been diagnosed with a rare condition called shrinking lung syndrome. It’s so rare, approximately only 0.5-1.1 % people with Lupus get it. I’m real scared as at time I feel like I’m slowly suffocating! Still getting more tests done to see if diaphragm isn’t partially paralyzed. Did you

Persistent gout in renal transplant.
Hi, As I understand it many of us will have had gout, I have for 30 years since my transplant. The last 3 years it has been relentless and the past few months: constant. I have been given colchicine and allupurinol but it's not seeming to help any longer. The situation is quite serious as I'm unable

Reference Library of Papers about Dutasteride for Treating Prostate Cancer
Here is a library of 20 papers about using Dutasteride to treat prostate cancer. In one study, Dutasteride monotherapy reduces PSA by 50%, reduces prostate volume by 25%, and reduces tumor volume by 30%, after 6 months of treatment, compared to placebo (Moore, 2017). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

pigment dispersion syndrome
Hi lovely people 😀 I have EDS, not lupus, but many of my symptoms are similar I’ve recently been dxd with pigment dispersion syndrome by an ophthalmologist at our regional eye hospital. It happens when pigment from the iris sheds onto other parts of the eye, causing inflammation and vision problems
