Happy Birthday Ron! (Ron50)
Woo Hoo! Another birthday.
Dear Ron, I hope you had a wonderful birthday. I hope you got to do something special. Are you really 64?
Is your birthday today, or yesterday? I know there is a BIG time difference between the states and Australia, so a date would be great.
We're all thinking of you (even if we've missed the acutal day.
Balloons 
a Party
Cake
and even a dancing man.

Thanks
Yes 6/04/50 was the date of my birth. Some days I feel like I should be getting a letter from the Queen. At least it was a Sunday this year so I did not have to go to work. Still battling with nephrotic syndrome with my kidneys . The cyclosporine is taking a toll on me but my protein loss is starting to drop so I am looking forward to 65 and the pension, tho the government is suggesting it may have to raise the pension age to 70. I've been working since I wasa 13 ,what more do they want? thanks again for your birthday wishes. Ron.

You are just 4 months older than me, I will be 64 on August 5th. Good to hear your protein loss is starting to drop.
Happy Birthday , love Virginia.

I'm happy with the protein loss but something funny has happened since I started the cyclosporine. For years my liver markers have always been in the red for some of the tests. Not bad but in the red. I kept getting told it was probably fatty liver. After two and a half months of cyclosporine all of my liver markers have dropped into the black. My neph does not really know what is going on but he asked me if I would consider going on a short sharp dose of prednisone again. Imuran or cyclosporine plus prednisone is the treatment prescribed for auto-immune hepatitis. I don't know how often I have told them my liver does not fit where it is supposed to. When I heard my results I immediately thought of you and some of the liver problems you have had. Might be an idea to give your docs a bit of a heads up on whats going on with another levamisole user. Hugs ron.

Thanks for that Ron, I will pass it on to my Dr. I have been referred to a Venous Surgeon and just heard from the Hosp today that I will get an appointment within three months. I have had a leg ulcer since early Dec and the referral was classed as urgent. After a dopplar ultrasound a blocked artery was found. I am starting to wonder if I will still have a leg by the time I am seen. That's what you get for living in the woop woops, love Virginia.

I don't like it when the plumbing starts playing up. If clots start breaking up you don't where they will finnish up. I got good news from the nephrologist today. My protein loss is still dropping as are my liver functions. He agrees with the auto-immune hepatitis possibility. I will never be in remission so it looks like cyclosporine for life. Just another hurdle. Good luck getting into see the doc as soon as possible. I hope it is soon and they resolve it quickly,all the best Ron.
