Prednisone dosage
Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me the lowest dose of prednisone that they are on? My doctor said we could reduce it but she left to run a major kidney transplant program. My new nephrologist said nope without hearing me out or giving any info. (he is not an experienced nephrologist imo). Just curious

Tocilizumab
If, as I understand it, NHS England only funds this drug for one year per individual then I will reach the end of my allocation in late July. It has taken months on this drug to cover the reduction in Prednisolone and I am now down to my lowest level ever. My Ophthalmologist is also discussing reducing

Heart Transplant
Has anyone else with Cardiomyopathy been told that their only option left is a Heart Transplant? Just received this info from Hospital 4 days ago and it's left me feeling so numb. Is anyone else going through this.

Can we regenerate damaged organs in the lab?
I responded to someone’s question earlier about the need for liver transplants in the future. While looking at some videos online, I came across this one entitled “Can we regenerate damaged organs in the lab?”. I felt this video story which was put up recently (Feb 21) was just too good a story to warrant

Had anyone had the Covid antibody test?
Saw a webinar in which it was suggested that a fairly small study showed people taking tocilizumab, mycophenelate, predisilone or methatrixate might only be covered 35-55% for the Covid vaccine. I am taking three of these. It recommended an antibody test - it was the SARS COVID anti spike test I think
