Roactemra Tocilizumab - lab out of stock - advice needed please.
Some of you may remember that I am taking Tocilizumab injections (only) regularly for GCA. Not long ago, others in my situation wrote saying that they had been warned that it was going to run out for a while due to the same drug being used world wide for covid patients. This has happened here in France

The Lambda variant is now in 29 countries, but what evidence do we have that it’s more dangerous?
...........................................A variant of interest is one that has mutations that are predicted or known to affect things such as transmissibility (how easily the virus spreads), severity of disease, ability to evade immunity from past infections or vaccines, or confound diagnostic tests

First Stem Cell Transplant Appointment done
Thanks to everyone who replied to my first post on this. My husband and I stayed over in Southampton and we got home today. To my great relief, the consultant was extremely approachable and excellent at explaining things. I didn't ask all of my questions as these initial discussions are being done over

The first data from the ongoing OCTAVE (Observational Cohort Trial-T-cells Antibodies and Vaccine Efficacy in SARS-CoV-2) study show that a significant proportion of clinically at-risk patients with certain immunocompromised or immunosuppressed conditions mount a low or undetectable immune response after

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of my last birthday.
When first diagnosed I was told that I MIGHT survive 10-15 months with the most aggressive treatment available. That was October of 2010. When my birthday came in July of 2011, I sincerely believed I would die within a few months. So I decided to go out in style. I threw myself a big birthday bash

First Appointment re Stem Cell Transplant

Immunocompromised? Why the COVID-19 vaccine might still protect you
COVID-19 vaccinations may not offer as much protection to people with compromised immune systems, but just how much appears to be driven by the type of underlying condition, new research suggests. "People with conditions that compromise their immune systems exhibit a wide spectrum of antibody responses

Who should receive a 3rd COVID-19 dose according to the CDC
I just received this email from Tufts Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts and it's another confirmation as to who is really immunocompromised.

B12 Testing
My GP tested my B12 in late June and it was 248. She gave me a B12 (Cyanocobalamin) injection on June 30th without doing any other tests. I then went to see a neurologist and she couldn’t believe that the GP had not done more testing. The neurologist has me scheduled today for the following tests: B12

Hi, Of the people who have had or are listed for a lung transplant, can you tell me how you coped with “dry runs” ( not sure what else to call them) I got called to Harefield, 2 days ago, as they potentially had suitable lungs for me.

Body pain
Hey lovely people I hope you are well I’m having my 3rd round of chemo tomorrow for my lung disease and I’m dreading it. I’m struggling so badly at the moment with body pain especially in my legs. I’m also super tired and unmotivated…… I’m pushing myself to do things but it’s hard….. I still also feel
