Anoushica shares her journey of lupus to kidney failure
Hi All, Here I chat to a fellow kidney person - it was filmed over 2 years ago so there is of course an ongoing story for Anoushica's next chapter and indeed mine! (hint: it's all good!).

A stopgap measure to treat respiratory distress.
Repurposing a drug used for blood clots may help Covid-19 patients in danger of respiratory failure, researchers suggest.
Researchers at MIT and the University of Colorado at Denver have proposed a stopgap measure that they believe could help Covid-19 patients who are in acute respiratory distress

This Toilet Roll Stockpiling, What the Hell is that all about?
The Coronavirus will be treatable at some stage, but some people's stupidity is surely terminal. At 82 years old, male, chronic asthma, stage 4 COPD and stage 3 Heart Failure, I reckon I tick all of the boxes and I'm now shopping on line, but I see that is also becoming a victim of panicking people and

End stage COPD palliative care
My Dad has end stage COPD and is now being treated at home as palliative care. I just don't know what to expect and I think that's what I'm struggling with. Dad's oxygen sats are currently 77-81% with no oxygen. I have oxygen for him but it's only to make him comfortable as he is at risk of type 2 respiratory

Requirements for Cardioversion or Catheter Ablation
I am a male, 82 years old and have persistent permanent Afib for at least the last 5 years. I never had symptoms and still don't. My Afib was picked up in a routine check before a minor surgery. After seeing a cardiologist he confirmed the Afib as well as left ventricular heart failure with an ejection

Just had an episode of Acute Renal Failure and feeling quite distressed
I spent last week in the hospital with an episode of
Acute
Renal
Failure
. My physicians think it was caused by a combination of the cirrhosis, side effects of my diuretic medications, and dehydration. They think my kidneys will probably recover well, but it's "wait and see."

Do anyone need Hemodialysis Home Supplies?
Hi everyone, We are newly home from a liver and kidney transplant and have a large number of dialysis supplies that we no longer need. We had just ended our first week of home dialysis when we got the call for the transplant. The supplies are new and in unopened shipping boxes. I hate to see this go

Dizzy with Nebuliser.
I was given a Nebuliser by my Respiratory Nurse to try. On my 2nd day I'm finding that it does loosen the Sputem but it makes me very dizzy and light headed. As well as COPD I have Heart failure and read somewhere that they're not suitable for people with that. Shall I carry on "Nebulising" or stop

Day 50: Failure.
It's amazing how much failure is part of every success story I've read about. It's also equally amazing how failure when trying to lose weight brings a sense of self-loathing and giving in. I'm not good enough, I'll always be like this, I'll never lose it etc becomes the cry of those that slip. Instead

Anxious and Scared- Possible Heart Failure and Afib
I had my fourth episode of Afib last week and had a cardioversion and am in NSR. For that I am grateful. The did the BNP blood test and it was super high so the hospitalist diagnosed me with congestive heart failure. This test was elevated last time I had an episode but my cardiologist and family

Still waiting
I had a blood test last year in August and when the results came back from the lab they showed that my bnp level is extremely high. I asked the GP exactly how high to be told that the level is 1221 and she'd expect to see that level in an 87 year old woman, I'm 47 years old. She then went on to refer

Does Afib go on to become heart failure
I'm 64 and following a massive pulmonary embolism last year they discovered I have afib. On Xarelto, Bisoprolol and Amlodipine for life for both conditions now and I have had one cardioversion, which lasted three days. They don't know if PE caused the afib, or the afib caused the PE - I suspect the latter

CAPD and night sweats
I have been on peritoneal dialysis for nearly two months. While things are going well in general, I am suffering from occasional excessive sweats. I wake up with soaking bedsheets and pillow, soggy hair and general sticky, sweaty body. Can anyone throw light on this condition?
