Getting there….🏃♀️
After dealing with cancer, radiotherapy , chemotherapy , a stem cell transplant & a total hip replacement less then 10mts ago - I have just completed week 6 & Run 2! The thought of catching COVID because of my health issues has kept me locked away for nearly 2yrs - getting back out there to run has helped

EGFR varies a lot from one day to the next
Just to relate a recent experience regarding egfr. The purpose is to hopefully reduced a lot of the worry and/or panic many post about when there is a sudden change in their egfr. I am a person with one kidney. A person with one kidney MAY maintain what is classified as a normal egfr. BUT in most

Just some food for thought, and sharing some news
Any opportunity to raise awareness of liver disease should be grasped with both hands, as you never always know where this advice and support will one day lead. For the past few years, I have been helping my 21-year old next-door neighbour with her studies to become a psychiatric, mental health nurse

Cirrhosis and hepatitis
Hi Everyone, My brother in law is in the hospital with alcohol cirrhosis and hepatitis C. Without a transplant he will not survive. Does anyone know if the hepatitis is a significant factor for receiving a transplant? Or is it mostly the precursor to cirrhosis? My husband had a liver transplant in September

Senolytic combo Dasatinib + Quercetin
Nalakrats has in two major posts shared fascinating insights on senescence and senolytics, drugs that selectively clear senescent cells. I am most grateful to him for this, which set me off on a journey the results of which I sum up in this post. Senescence has also recently been well reported on by

Referral to renal unit?
I’ve recently been in hospital for angioplasty which unfortunately couldn’t go ahead due to the twisting and an aneurysm in the RCA. I had a kidney removed 3 years ago due to cancer and the remaining kidney never picked up from about 45 gfr. It has gone steadily down to 37gfr. I had blood tests carried

Immune Compromised Patients May Get 3rd Vaccination
I mentioned this story in a reply I just made to a different Post, and decided it was too important a story to leave only in that reply. So I'm now posting about it. In essence my blood test at Quest Labs to see if my two vaccine shots resulted in any antibodies came back "NONE" I've been a little

31 year old facing AML fight.
Evening everyone. In the last few days ive had to come to terms that i will be battling AML. But sadly there isnt much information out there regarding its effects on younger people. It seems to be all info regarding 65+ years old. No treatment has been started yet, still waiting on results coming back

Advice dealing with chronic GVHD in the eyes and skin while trying to withdraw steroids
Hello everyone! I had a stem cell transplant last year and I am dealing with very uncomfortable Graft Versus Host Disease in my eyes and skin. The one in the eyes is the worse! I need to have drops every 10mins. Punctal ducts were helpful for three weeks only. I am waiting for some stem cell eye drops

CDC advisers to consider additional coronavirus dose for immunocompromised patients. Meeting scheduled for July 22
A federal advisory panel is expected next week to consider whether health-care workers should be allowed to give additional coronavirus shots to patients with fragile immune systems, even as top U.S. health officials have said an additional dose of vaccine is not widely needed. The prospect of booster

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well! I am currently a researcher at the University of Bath looking for individuals interested in taking part in research about chronic pain. We are looking for people with a diagnosis of chronic pain (including fibromyalgia, CRPS, chronic lower back pain, etc.)

Dogs PC and Health
That adorable picture of Sparky sparked me into writing some of my ideas about dogs and I hope to hear from others. My best friend for almost 15 years was Sophie a grey Standard Poodle. She was not only smart but acutely aware and fully bonded to me. She actually picked me and who was I to refuse. I

After 2nd Vaccine Antibodies
As a

In the USA, whose responsibility is it to test me to find out if my body has made antibodies after the second covid vaccine? Also, how long do I have to wait to be tested for antibodies?

Let's talk about BP and CKD. (Take your ACE at night if using it for BP too?)
Poster Gerald1967 linked to this NCBI listed article (2014) which talks about BP and natural (vs. pharma) BP control approaches. Interesting read generally, but this popped out. The journo writes it as if it's a known fact. It likely is a known fact, but just not a fact known by your typical patient
