Dialysis / RLS
Wow, this sub is a lot more active than the Kidney Disease sub, one would think it would be the other way around. I guess RLS is a lot more prevalent than people think? I never experienced or even heard of RLS before starting dialysis but boy did it hit me hard. It's already hard to sleep while doing

Transplant.vs dialysis
Hi. I am going through the process for a kidney transplant. I had my first appointment with the transplant deans was supposed by what he was saying. I felt like he was trying to talk me ougetting a transplant. He told me there was no guarantee a transplant would improve my life more than dialysis.

Looking for guidance on RLS and Parkinson's Management
Good Morning, Read this forum regularly... thank you for sharing ... Looking to learn more about RLS and Parkinson's, especially from persons with these two conditions particularly their medication management. My husband has both conditions, RLS since mid 2000s, Parkinson's since 2018. And we are

Sometimes the solution is simple !
Getting through the winter isn’t isn’t easy, is it friends ? This one was a long one and once the spring is on its way my energy levels, enthusiasm and motivation get going and life opens up again. It didn’t happen this year though. Asthma COPD for 21 years….was it all getting to the body ? No energy

Small thyroid gland question......
What does it mean if your Free Thyroxine is low (10.8 pmol/L - 12 - 22 R ) and your Thyroid is small ? My Dr is telling me he is unable to except my recent private blood tests which is annoying as I sent bloods of to MediChecks only this morning to check my Thyroid Antibodies which are normally

Anxiety & Heart failure
hello all. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for ages. My anxiety has been much worse in the past few years. Now I’ve been diagnosed with heart failure and can’t tell when my chest pain is because of my anxiety or my heart. Anyone out there on same boat? 😬🤔

AF & AV node ablation confusion
Hi,So I have had pace n ablate, pacemaker dependent also have HF. Does anyone know if you can still be in AF after AV node ablation and pacemaker dependent? I was informed by a doctor after a recent visit to A&E that due to AV node ablation and being dependent on a pacemaker that AF shouldn't occur

pacemaker
There is a forum, I think, for pacemaker discussion, however I couldn't figure out how to ask question on that forum. Many of you have pacemakers so maybe you can answer my question. My pacemaker is working about 85% of the time and keeps my heart rate at 60bpm. Lately I have been getting extremely

Is AF HF ?
Hi. I have a questionnaire to fill in prior to a cardiac MRI which asks if I suffer from heart failure (HF). I thought HF was a generic term but on reading a post on this forum I am confused/wrong . My cardiologist tells me I am in permanent AF with an ejection fraction of 42%. He has not mentioned

Does persistent/constant afib lower the heart ejection fraction?
Newbie question - it hadn’t even occurred to me but if one (aka my husband) has persistent/constant afib (and he has constant atrial flutter also we think) will that most likely impact the heart ejection fraction? I mean now I think about it it seems logical that if the heart isn’t contracting and

How is AF and Heart Failure linked?
Although the term heart failure can sound ‘scary’ it does not mean that your heart is about to stop working! Although heart failure can be a serious condition, it only means your heart is not working as efficiently as it should be and that it needs a little help to make it work better. For further

Some good news at last.
Some good news at last. Saw EP for 6 week follow up, 2 weeks ago, reduced Bisoprolol to 1.25mg but continue with heart failure meds and booked echocardiogram which I had yesterday. Sonographer was lovely, very chatty, I had my previous report from Late January 24 with me, Ejection Fraction 28%, severe

Persistent afib treatment options, can't tolerate Amiodarone - so many questions...
I'm feeling rather lost at sea, I have so many unknows and questions so I'm sorry if this is a bit messy. Think I'm looking for your experiences and help with what I should ask the cardiologist about/for. BTW we live in the England so NHS. In short... Persistent new onset afib (always bradycardia) since
