Advice dealing with chronic GVHD in the eyes and skin while trying to withdraw steroids
Hello everyone! I had a stem cell transplant last year and I am dealing with very uncomfortable Graft Versus Host Disease in my eyes and skin. The one in the eyes is the worse! I need to have drops every 10mins. Punctal ducts were helpful for three weeks only. I am waiting for some stem cell eye drops

The Lambda variant is now in 29 countries, but what evidence do we have that it’s more dangerous?
...........................................A variant of interest is one that has mutations that are predicted or known to affect things such as transmissibility (how easily the virus spreads), severity of disease, ability to evade immunity from past infections or vaccines, or confound diagnostic tests

Immune Compromised Patients May Get 3rd Vaccination
I mentioned this story in a reply I just made to a different Post, and decided it was too important a story to leave only in that reply. So I'm now posting about it. In essence my blood test at Quest Labs to see if my two vaccine shots resulted in any antibodies came back "NONE" I've been a little

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of my last birthday.
When first diagnosed I was told that I MIGHT survive 10-15 months with the most aggressive treatment available. That was October of 2010. When my birthday came in July of 2011, I sincerely believed I would die within a few months. So I decided to go out in style. I threw myself a big birthday bash

Spinal Fusion-break Identified while being on the Lung Transplant List.
Good evening all, I have been listed on the
Lung

List for over 2 1/2 years now. They noticed right at the start of my evaluation that I had the start of osteoporosis which they put down to years of taking prednisolone. Even though I had this they were still happy to list me.

Low Oxygen Levels
On 24 hour oxygen and on
lung
transplant
list. Trying to stay fit to help with the post operative recovery but the slightest activity now makes my SAT’s plummet. Despite using the oxygen, my levels dropped to 55% when I got dressed very slowly this morning.
