My Rapamycin journey, my new heart stent and way forward

seems like it impacts less than grapefruit juice so I bet you are right…just get a bit more for my money with it…i have been fortunate to have no side effects from rapa so far so i will see how it goes

So here is an interesting item that I am curious if others have experienced.

As a kid I often got los on ivy…normal stuff, I got a rash, it itches and went away. Last week after doing yard work I got poison ivy. It was the worse ever! Major major redness big whelps. Horrible itching. Like never before.

Could it be related to taking Rapamycin?

Has anyone else noticed anything like this?

How have you been managing with your stent? Is there a consensus that restarting low-dose weekly rapamycin could reduce the risk of stent restenosis? I’m having a cardiac catheterization and have started researching in case of stent placement.

I am doing great! I have been on 10 mg weekly since then. I had another scan last year and no new issues. My LDL has been quite low the whole time like in the 20’s
