Steroids and fluid retention
I put a blog on here some months ago about fluid retention and got a lovely lot of kind caring replies which I acted on. However my GP still insisted it was the steroids which were making me retain fluid. Even when I got to looking like Michelin Man and had fluid pouring out of my right lower leg nothing

How we chose and adjusted to dialysis - it's not the end of the world!
Hi, My husband (D) is 70 and has end stage renal failure. As he is new to dialysis I thought I would share our experience of choosing and adjusting in case other people find it useful. As any decisions would affect both our lives we made them jointly with the help of EXCELLENT information and support

My Journey
I had a kidney transplant 10years ago, and am now well and fighting fit. My older sister donated a kidney to me after only having dialysis for 6weeks. I now enjoy working part time and playing golf at every opportunity. You never know what life is going to through at you, but how and what you make it

He fell in on holiday in Greece last week, luckily the medical treatment he received was brilliant, put on dialysis for chronic kidney failure, then plasma replacement to try to halt bleeding in the lungs and methylprednisolene. Air ambulance back to Bristol Childrens Hospital where diagnosis confirmed
