Rise in CA125
I’ve recently have had Pneumonia and Pleurisy. My CA125 was checked yesterday and my CNS has just called me to say that it has risen to 64. She also said that it can rise due to the pneumonia and they will discuss it at next weeks MDT meeting. There is a possibility they may repeat my bloods in 4 weeks

Immunocomprised and suddenly have an asymptomatic Covid infection!
My husband has CLL and is in treatment (finished Obinutuzumab, now on Venetoclax). He has had two pretty severe Covid infections; first one in June 2022, second one in December 22. The second infection turned into long Covid (fatigue, daily low grade fevers) - lasting over six months now. He woke up

mannitol
mannitol which is in Teva brand of thyroxine and does not agree with everyone. I have found out is obtained by the hydrogenation of sugars from wheat/corn starch no wonder I have problems, being gluten free. Also found it in other medications.

Workplace Injury
I work in the dental field and was trimming an imperino I was taking on a patient. When trimming the impression, he scalpel slipped and cut my finger fairly deeply. I checked the impression and there was no obvious blood contamination, likely only a small amount of saliva. After following proper protocol

Rheumy helpline not replied to me 😢
Hi all, I've had RA since 2018 and I've had a cocktail of drugs since then, but I've now been on sarilumab for around 2 years and was doing okish up until a few months ago. I've rang Rheumy helpline last Wednesday and we have to leave a message but still had no reply. My appointment should have been

A tip for Australians with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia trying to access pneumococcal vaccination through the National Immunisation Program
What a morning I've had to get my third pneumococcal vaccine. I'll share the details here as the solution I found could help others with CLL in Australia who are having difficulty accessing these vaccines through the National Immunisation Program (NIP). In Australia, since 1 July 2020, it's standard

Covid booster

I now have bronchiectasis along with my asthma! I have booked it as I'm a front line worker but

Is it just me !
So I had a viral infection in March and pneumonia that sent me into a really bad flare up of symptoms and I'm currently still in this flare up . Whenever I get any sort of infection it sends me into a flare of symptoms. I also had COVID in September which may be contributing to why my flare up is lasting
