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

Decrease Nubeqa?
I'm 83, prostate cancer(PSA 30) with negative bone scan, negative MRI, but PET shows multiple small mets throughout both lungs and multiple lymph nodes throughout the chest. Started with 600 mgm bid of Nubeqa, and Orgovyx 120 mgm once a day. I also received radiation to the prostate approx. 6 months

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

belimumab Infusions
Hi all, I’m suppose to be starting belimumab infusions next week, however there is a shortage in the medication so I’m just waiting for a new date I’m on all the usual medication for lupus but nothing seems to be working, I have had rituximab last year and the first lot lasted 5 months which was great

Question
I know this has to do with kidney function because when he had the original prostatectomy in 2014 he had a severe reaction to Toradol, went into acute
kidney
failure
and spent 11 days in the hospital while they figured that out. Blood work shows creatinine still stable at .93.

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

looking for a neurologist
Can anyone recommend a neurologist knowledgeable in RLS in the Bristol/ Bath (England) area ? I currently have a neurologist whom I rate quite highly but who cannot prescribe opioids as they are not on the formulary of the hospital where she practises. She has however asked my GP to prescribe Oxycodone
