Hi @mott1090 😊
It's a pleasure to meet you! I am so sorry to hear about your terrible experience with norovirus and covid.....and now an MRI of lumbar. Which organ did you have transplanted? Do you take a medication for osteoporosis?
What is JC positive?

It’s a pleasure to meet you too!! I had a kidney transplant in 2011 and 2nd kidney transplant in 2021. No, I don’t have issue with osteoporosis.

JC positive is a virus that most people can acquire anytime but usually as a kid. Your body can fight it and keep your levels suppressed, but with anti rejection meds it sometimes will break through. The fear is JC + can create PML (attacks sheathing of brain).
