The nasal flu vaccine contains live forms of flu virus which have been weakened (attenuated) and whilst not dangerous to those in good health, the vaccine may

Best post-transplant life experience?
So as we often say, we get our organ transplant 'not just to survive, but to thrive' and enjoy life to the fullest. Having been to the edge with our health issues, recipients tend to appreciate each day of life (despite those daily challenges) so much more than the average person. So looking back (

Some other infusion ideas
They both have a few ovarian success stories, and while they are not offering a cure, they have seen results on a par with chemo and with far fewer side effects and
organ
damage
. The infusions are Taurolidene, which is an antiseptic.

Help with O2 levels please
Whilst I would rather not have the hassle of using it, I'm concerned to avoid
organ
damage
. I'm losing height due to the collapse of my lumbar spine. I'm 10 inches shorter than I should be so I think my organs are suffering enough without the addition of oxygen deprivation.

I am starting to lose hope!
He said biopsy carries the risk of
organ
damage
, severe blood loss, permanent pain and now I am asking why if I need a specialist is he doing it? I expected to be reassured today, now I feel back at the start, with all the usual symptoms robbing me of joy.

Interesting article for patients receiving chemotherapy ! Understanding your infection risk during chemotherapy.
An infection occurs when germs enter a person’s body and multiply, causing illness,
organ
and tissue
damage
, or disease. It’s also important for you to know that an infection can lead to a potentially life-threatening complication called sepsis.
