I just received this email from Tufts Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts and it's another confirmation as to who is really immunocompromised. I hope this helps some members of this forum who are on higher doses of Pred. "Patient Update - Dear Tufts Medical Center and Tufts Children’s Hospital Community

Has anyone used cordyceps as an adjunctive treatment for kidney disease?
Cordyceps worm mold is widely used in China to treat kidney disease, and some scientific studies indicate that it may reduce creatinine values in patients with chronic kidney disease. I have never found found much personal benefit from it. Conclusions of recent Chinese study: "Current evidence shows

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

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

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

Tacrolimus/Advagraf and Ginger
Has anyone ever had a doctor tell them they cannot have ginger while on Tacrolimus? When you search online for contraindications to Tacrolimus, it lists pomegranates, grapefruit, pomelo, star fruit and ginger. However, the medical information sheet I get from the pharmacy only says to avoid grapefruit

A break during 10k
Does anyone else ever stop for a couple of minutes for a break during their 10k run? I tend to run on the treadmill and have recently started doing 10k runs after eventually completing c25k. About half the time I can do it without stopping whilst the rest of the time I find myself needing to stop for

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

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

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
