Collagen
Hello all. I've been puzzled by one question for a while already... When looking to buy face cream for example I keep stumbling across wrinkle-reducing skin care products which promise great results through the use of added collagen. Having scleroderma, which is essentially an overproduction of collagen

cologuard vs colonoscopy
I’m on watch and wait for about five years now. So far, a most indolent diagnosis. My question is about colon cancer screening. Is the non-invasive cologuard acceptable rather than a colonoscopy? I had a colonoscopy ten years ago and was clean. I’m due again and am wondering about cologuard vs. colonoscopy

Ureteral stricture surgery/Ureteral retransplantation, replacement of ureter w small intestines etc and specialists who do this
I have a third kidney transplant and a ureteral stricture. We have tried everything to fix the stricture but nothing has worked. So my transplant team decided that surgery was the option ,surgical retransplantation of the ureter using a piece of my small intestines where the stricture was ,in its place

A sojourn to an old converted olive farm in Andalucia in 2012, was my first entry point into a formal yoga teacher training (YTT). As a woman then in my 30s, a healthy functioning

Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with CLL in August 2018 and so far have remained on watch and wait. In September 2019, I had successful surgery for colon cancer, had a stoma for 6 months and then a reversal and have been "all clear" since then. Also, as a bonus, the chemo I had for the colon cancer

Stem cell transplant starts on Monday
A bit of background - In October 2021 I had a rapid and florid relapse following the end of my Ibrutinib treatment in FLAIR so I was started on Acalabrutinib with no effect and also had investigations for Richter's. Tests showed that I was resistant to the currently available BTKi's (two synergistic

COVID VACCINE MANDATE
My ex husband is in need of a kidney. He has been evaluated at 2 separate centers but they refuse to list him unless he gets the COVID vaccine. This seems an unreasonable requirement since the long term effects of the vaccine are unknown in kidney transplant patients. He will be looking into other

Does Tacrolimus cause forgetfulness for anyone?
I recently was speaking with a recent kidney transplant recipient, and he has memory lapses, sometimes forgetting conversations he's had. His nephrologist said it can be the Tacro as it is one of the possible side effects. He's being switched to another medication. I had not heard this, and just

NHS Blood and Transplant are seeking the views of patients on living donor liver transplantation
Living donor liver transplantation emerged across the world in the early 1990s in response to the shortfall in available donor organs for patients in need of a liver transplantation. Since 1998, paediatric centres in the UK have been offering living donor transplantation for children on the active waiting

GFR levels post transplant
hi, anyone got any idea as to what their GFR level, or creatinine or urea levels in blood were 2 years onwards post Tx. I was shocked today to find my GFR is 32 and until now no one has ever uttered chronic liver disease Stage 3b. That can’t just happen over night and GFR results hasn’t been listed
