Rapamycin

When I asked my Hematologist at Mayo about it they said this drug may be get approved sooner than later for MPN’s. Has anyone researched this or used it. It is a drug used for organ transplants but

update on test
yesterday I went back for testing as it was 37 before. It was 47 yesterday. I did tell him about The triamterene could give a false reading. He is aware of this and said he didn’t want to change any meds just yet. The diuretic in this keeps my l ankles From swelling. I drank a lot of water before

Pre-term labour
I’ve been in hospital for 8 days now as one of the swab tests came back positive which means it’s likely I’m heading into pre term labour & I also have Polyhydramnios. Last night I started feeling contractions and was in pain.. they were showing as very frequent on the monitor. It was a long night but

edema of the feet
for more than 6 months I am getting edema on the legs. I am taking Throxine 75 mg daily. TSH reading 1.48 - can anyone tell me please whether the edema has got anything to do with my Thyroid issue? THE BLOOD TEST SHOWS MY CREATENINE LEVEL AT 0.75 AND BLOOD UREA AT 9.1. COULD BE THE CAUSE OF EDEMA
