Hi lovely Lupies, an update on my post despairing of getting any support. Today the Rheumatology Nurse called me and was incredulous when I told her about my GP`s attitude. Within an hour I have now had a call from my Rheumy`s secretary to say a prescription for a course of steroids has been sent to

FET while/soon after breastfeeding?
Hello lovely group, I just wondered if anyone has had a successful FET while still breastfeeding/soon after stopping? I'm incredibly lucky to have my son (5 egg collections, 6 embryo transfers, and he was the 8th embryo); he's 20 months now and I'd love to try for a sibling using my frozen embryos.

A reply to Wasabigirlās post about PID (?) which has since been deleted
You could ask for an MRI of the lower pelvis and muscles there. A sonogram generally cant see those areas (nor a laparoscopy or laparotomy) and pain in those areas can refer to the groin. I had an infection and was only treated with tetracycline for 5 days (many years ago). Then the terrible burning

Update on Ven & Obin protocol
Iām all the way through the ramp up on Venetaclax - just started 400 mg and have 2-3 more Obin infusions. Here is what Iāve found: 1. Insist on anti nausea meds with Obin for premeds. Once I did that the single episode of throwing up with the first infusion was resolved. Also, I requested a vein

I am at present, but seem to be the only one in shops, occasional very short bus journeys etc who is! I'm currently on 6.5mgs. Just wondering how immune suppressed I actually am after 2 yrs

Fatigue.. bloods good. Is remission over and SLL back?
SLL 2016 - bloods good, bulky lymph nodesBR x6 rounds 2019 Remission 2024: bloods all good - bad fatigue is back Is remission over, or is it something else? Had a thought: if I took steroids, that would typically 'flush' the CLL cells out of hiding in my lymph nodes.. then a blood test would better

Steroids for COPD flare up
My COP D rarely has a flare up but recently I started producing increased amounts of very sticky mucus. On Monday I got an appointment with the respiratory nurse who prescribed anti biotics and steroids which I have not had for years. I took the first dose with no problems. Today about an hour after
