How often to Self Inject
Hello all. I was just wondering what you all think about how often we should inject with Vit B12. I had been taking shots since about last Dec of 22, but even though it helped, didn't help much. So after finally being diagnosed with PA, I told my wife to inject me every day for 30 days to sort of give

Good sats - so why so breathless?
THAT is indeed the question. Why, with my peripheral O2 levels at 94/5 %even 96% am I still fighting to breath? It goes like this. I wake short of breath. I rise and take my Oximeter (I have several; they all show the same) . My level is, say 92%. I do controlled breathing using a computer monitor

Tocilizumab
I have had a BCC removed from the side of my nose. One of my rheumatology nurses told me that there is an incidence of Tocilizumab causing cancerous growths. It did pop up out of nowhere and I was shocked when the dermatologist told me that it was a slow growing cancer. Has anyone heard of this link?

Afternoon all, Apologies for the radio silence for the best part of six months. I never intended to leave it this long before updating you all but life (and a certain little miss) got in the way! Cassie Jean Jackson came kicking and screaming in to the world at 8.28 am on Monday 16th October last

One year stem cell transplant anniversary
This week a year ago I received my donor's stem cells. For those of you not following my posts, it was hard going in the early months but by late June things were looking a lot better both mentally and physically and my hair started its return.. My platelets were one of the slowest things to recover

Some results, at last
I had some blood sent for Next Generation Sequencing back in March, I’ve been waiting for the results. Consultant phoned this afternoon, he says I am now post ET MF or words to that effect! My platelets are currently 559, I’m on one capsule of Anagrelide twice a day. I was extremely anaemic and after

Venetoclax has been added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme in Australia for use as a retreatment for CLL/SLL
In more good news, today the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) in Australia added venetoclax to its listings for the retreatment of CLL/SLL in those whose disease relapses/progresses after an initial venetoclax-based therapy has controlled it. The PBS Listing states: [i]"Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

Benzene
Have MPN ppl here been exposed to benzene?I recently read it can be detrimental to the bone marrow. As a child if I got paint on my hands we would clean it off with pure benzene. I'm wondering if that is why I have PV and my sister has lymphoma. My MPN doc says no - the amount would not have been enough

Annoyed and Need to Vent
I had a blood that showed elevated counts in RBC’s, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. I got referred to a hematologist who did the JAK2 test and tested my EPO. JAK2 test is not detected & EPO is normal. He suggested that I do not have a MPN, phew what a relief right? Nope. Told me I should give blood every

Should I switch SSRIs?
Hi all, I’ve been on sertraline for around 14 years on varying dosages. Most recently I was on 150mg, but over the past few weeks I’ve been coming down and I’m now on 50mg, in preparation for a switch to Paroxetine. I take sertraline as I was originally diagnosed with OCD and also had an eating disorder

Myelofibrosis and bone pain
how do people manage bone pain with Myelofibrosis. I used to get a dull ache in my shin bone only at night occasionally but now it is just about daily and is impacting on my ability to sleep. I bought CBD oil but it is not really helping and paracetamol doesn’t work at all. I don’t want to get into

Tocilizumab in the UK
I thought it may be helpful to share my Rheumy appointment yesterday. I have GCA and PMR and due to various reasons cannot tolerate Steriods. Instead I am treated with Methotrexate and tocilizumab which I received for a year as in standard in the UK. I was worried about what would happen when year expired

eyesight problems
hi all, I hope you are all keeping well. Just wanted to ask people who are on Interferon, have they noticed a vast change in their eyesight or is it just from the Essential Thrombocythemia itself… I know when you usually ask the Haemo docs they don’t know or are not aware of it TIA

Is MBL the same as CLL stage 0?
hi. I recently got diagnosed with MBL and I’m reading a lot about CLL stage zero on this board. I’m a little confused with the terminology. I’m trying to understand if it is the same thing or not can anyone help?

Adrenals
Morning everyone. This is my first post on here. I was diagnosed with GCA in August 2022 and have been tapering down the Prednisolone to 5mg. I also take Tocilizumab and Methotrexate as I’ve had a difficult time with the Prednisolone so many side effects. How do I know if my adrenal glands are working
