Stopping Tocilizumab
My Ophthalmologist has now mentioned ending my "allocation" of Tocilizumab whereby I will be maintained on 15 mg of Hydrocortisone and 20 mg of Methotrexate. I am unnerved by this and feel it will leave me at an increased vulnerability to relapse and have only one functioning eye. Has anyone gone through

Liver Transplant – Letter to Donor family – totally gutted.
I had my liver transplant back in 2016 due to alcohol abuse and Hepatocellular Carcinoma. For a good 10-months post-transplant, I suffered terribly with survivors guilt and PTSD. I honestly felt that writing that letter to the donor family was an honest reflection of my gratitude. It helped me to deal

DNA mutations impacting liver disease patients identified by Wellcome Sanger Institute and Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute
From time to time I like to post up any interesting liver research that’s recently been concluded, that may be of interest to others. When I developed end-stage liver disease back in 2015, I became diabetic. No one could tell me why, or even which type of diabetes I had. The diabetic doctor told me it

Steroid sparers
I posted a few weeks ago to ask if anyone had been given Mycophenolate so Tocilizumab could be withdrawn. I only got a couple of replies so I guess not many have. I gave them a try and felt as though I was back to pre diagnosis. Rheumatologist said to try again more slowly. Same again. Not for me. I

Antibody infusions?
I know a young man in my community who received a kidney transplant a few years ago. I have heard thru mutual friends that he has been diagnosed with covid and in the hospital not doing too well. Anyway, this brings me to think about treatments...are transplant patients able to get the antibody infusions

theoretical question: lung transplant
Sorry if this question is of the "out there" type. If an asthmatic recipient receives a lung transplant from a non-asthmatic donor, would the recipient asthma be "cured"? I've read about the reciprocal phenomenon -- one gets asthma if the donor was an asthmatic. I am guessing compared living a lung transplant

Staying on the Path
After having multiple back surgeries I became extremely inactive afraid to move because of pain. This led to weight gain and I developed diabetes. That was my wake up call.

Hashimotos and PBC? Primary Billiary Cholangitis
Am working on a healthcare brief as a copywriter atm. This time for the autoimmune liver condition PBC. The premise is that PBC is a rare condition, but as it’s a major cause of liver transplants in the US, I tend to think many people are undiagnosed and it actually occurs quite frequently. With that

Should I do only kidney or pancreas as well?
I have been listed recently in august for kidney and pancreas transplant. I am type 2 diabetic and not on dialysis yet. I was not aware if my transplant doctor would list me for pancreas. I am not sure if I should go for pancreas transplant or keep only kidney. Having both increases risk? Any advise
