Blood donations save our lives
Ever been stuck for what to say when someone finds out you have CLL and asks what they can do? Why not ask them to consider becoming a blood donor? The Australian Red Cross Blood Service has just launched a Blood Blitz call for additional donors to make up the expected national shortfall of 13,000

Hi ladies, I had my baby boy nearly 5 weeks ago by emergency c section, had some problems with blood pressure going high & low but before & during the op & lost around 800mls of blood I think. When they went to discharge me my blood results were showing really high levels of protein, I think it was

To those of you on NPlate, how often is a normal injection, how much and what is the goal set by your doctor as far as count?
Rituxan, IVIG,
platelet
transfusions
and prednisone were of no real help. I keep reading everyones comments about their count being 20,000 to 50,000 but his Dr keeps giving injections and wants him about 300,000 because about every 10 days it drops to between 17,000 and 60,000.

Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia - AIHA
Hello, i am a new member and have found the discussions very helpful. I need some help please. I was diagnosed with CLL a year ago. I was put on steroid therapy as found to have haemolysis. In July I began FCR - the plan was for a cycle of six treatments. Following my second treatment, my haemoglobin

These are primarily microbes—tiny organisms such as bacteria, parasites, and fungi that can cause infections. Viruses also cause infections,

What is the possible end of life scenario for sufferers of myelo fibrosis?
My mother has myelo fibrosis. She was diagnosed 13 years ago. She has had regular blood transfusions for the past three years. She is getting weaker and is suffering from breathlessness & anxiety. Her tranfusions seem to be getting less effective. At some point she may prefer not to continue with transfusions

Hare and Tortoise: AIHA and CLL
Well, did not get the best news yesterday. Was feeling like someone had taken plug out of me, so got bloods taken on tues and somehow got into clinic yesterday. I have now been off steroids for AIHA for 4 weeks: they worked so well when I was on them and 66% of the time they work long term. Hb levels

Is ITP curable?
This is Sonika from India (Noida). I have just undergone through the treatment of ITP. I have admitted into hospital when my blood cont was 25K. Blood transfusion was given when it came to 10 K. Now I am on steroid and taking proper precaution. Let me know any other alternative other than steroid. i

Any experience of Docetaxol.
Couldn't undergo round 5 of Carbo/Pemetrexed today as platelets slightly low (84) but not low enough to have blood transfusion, so it was decided to leave it for a week. Once I have completed round six I will have another CT scan, don't know whether it's with contrast or not and to be honest I don't

Mental health issues and steroids revisited: Still wondering about the thyroid connection?
Just a wee update. My daughter had all the symptoms of hypothyroidism (though she was very thin and losing weight). She was put on steroids to combat positive DS DNA antibodies and vasculitis but suffered psychosis and was admitted to hospital. We eventually got a diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis

Link between asymptomatic root canals and auto immune diseases
Hi all I recently started researching the above and was horrified at the health risks of root canals. I had one in 06 (the last time i saw a dentist as i am phobic and that was as much as i could take) Pre 06 i was super fit and healthy, trained and worked out daily - would think nothing of running

I was about to start a course of Ibrutinib as a treatment naive patient and was told that I must wait until my anaemia was under control.
I have been told I must have two pints of blood transfused and a course of steroids, does anyone have any knowledge/experience of AIHA which is the possible cause of this fatigue/anaemia with a haemoglobin count of eight and no other symptoms since diagnosis eight years ago?
