Could MCAS a possibility?
Hello everyone, I have been wondering for a while if I could have MACS. Last year I was diagnosed with a Raw Pecan allergy, borderline brazil and salami allergy through raw food skin to skin prick testing and given epi pens. My immunologist at the time did not want to risk it as I have asthma and

Peritoneal dialysis catheter block
Hi everyone, for those on PD, have you had any catheter complications or blockages and how were they resolved? My father suddenly started to have his PD fluid drain bloody two weeks ago. We notified the nurse/dr who are both unresponsive and just assumed it’s a burst blood vessel. We requested a sample

This a term used In PBC a patient does not respond to Urso - usually within a year's time from the start of dosing. A different drug of choice is needed.
The only approved second line treatment is the use of Ovaliva (obeticholic acid

Ocaliva and side effects
Hello everyone! I recently started taking ocaliva. I don't know if they help, I'm due to go and have some blood tests done. Pros...the sharp pain I used to occasionally have in the liver area is gone. Cons. The itchy skin drives me insane, can't sleep, I'm always tired and to add insult to injury some

First Time Nebuliser Use
Hi everyone, my Respiratory Consultant has suggested I try nebulising with saline to help clear my chest and hopefully reduce the problem of mucus plugging which then impacts my breathing obviously. I’ve bought the nebuliser and have the saline on prescription. My query is I’ve read when using for the

Update on tests etc
hi all. Just an update after my recent CT scan, and the dreaded bronchoscopy on Tuesday this week. Obviously haven't had full results of latest CT scan, apart from a short note from my consultant to say there was a 6.5 millimetre nodule in ththe Apex of my right lung. They will monitor it, if it stays

Salt water washing post adult Circumcision week 6
It has now almost been 6 weeks post my circumcision surgery and the dry patches of skin still linger on my glans and frenulum. I have read on this forum elsewhere that salt water washes help in clearing these dry patches. I was wondering if 1) I should dip it in saline solution before or after taking

another pharma update
This is in regards to the pharma Ipsen... They are trialing a drug called Elafibranor. It is being used for treatment in PBC, biliary atresia (in children) , PSC, Alagille Syndrome, and Primary Familial Cholestasis. With patients taking Urso, often up to 40% do not see improvement. 3-5% of patients

Question on steam/vapour breathing
I have a question for those who use steam/vapour breathing to ease off their symptoms. Do you use distilled water, reagular tap water, or a saline solution? My specialist seemed puzzled when I asked her this, and said that, in principle, a saline solution is optimal. I currently use distilled water.

Seladelpar update
About a month or more ago, I wrote about this upcoming drug's potentially to be the next drug for second line treatment. By that I mean that for some reason someone was not responding to or not able to take Urso. 40% of patients are failed by Urso. Cymabay, the pharma who manufacturers Seladelpar,

Rheumatologist advices no reduction of prednisolone while adrenal glands not working and has issued emergency hydrocortisone kit
I've had PMR since October 2020 and managed to get down to 2.5mg of prednisolone in February 2023. But after a flare, I had to raise it to 5mg and have been pain-free since then. I started on methotrexate weekly injections (15mg) in December 2023, with the hope of being able to reduce the prednisolone
