Please be aware - be your own expert or use your clinical specialist service if you have any queries. I recently had a basal cell carcinoma removed and skin graft on my nose. I knew this was a possibility because of the immunosuppressant I was taking post transplant and had spoken about it’s possible

Lonely Road
I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for most of my life. I recently have come out of a battle with Congestive Heart Failure. I was so happy to be able to live, but instead of gaining a new life, I fell into a very lonely hole of depression and anxiety. I’m too heavy a weight for my family so I

Gfr of 10 but feeling well - is this possible ?
Hi everyone. My son is 23 and only 4 months ago we learned he had CKD and his gfr was 20. Last week we were told it is now just 10. Aside from occasional tiredness however he is feeling totally fine. No other symptoms of kidney failure at all. Is this normal ? He wants to delay dialysis as long as possible

Gum growth after kidney transplant
Hi, I had a kidney transplant over 2 years ago and recently my gums seem seem to be overtaking my teeth and are quite uncomfortable and bleeding. Is this down to taking prednisolone daily as a steroid?

The Supreme Court acknowledges the value of patient support groups and empowered patients.
"...changes in society, and in the provision of healthcare services, should also be borne in mind. One which is particularly relevant in the present context is that it has become far easier, and far more common, for members of the public to obtain information about symptoms, investigations, treatment

Heart Failure

Whatever that means, I am due for an Echocardiogram, next month, and I suppose this will tell how it is, well at least I am not dead yet, {sorry] bad joke. Can anyone

Blood test (BNP) to flag up heart disease earlier!!!
I found this very interesting article in the copy of Mail on Sunday. "When the heart muscles begin to strain, larger amounts of the protein – brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) – are released by the heart and it is detectable in the bloodstream." New £15 blood test flags up heart disease at an earlier

Zytiga and the kidneys
He ended up in the ER in
acute
renal
failure
. The doctors say it was caused by severe dehydration. I’m wondering if it’s the Zytiga?? They’ve stopped it for now and his kidneys are improving ( he’s never had any kidney problems before). Seems like too much of a coincidence.....thoughts?

Advice on blood results anyone?
Hi All. Thank you for letting me join. I'm not actually diagnosed with lupus yet. I have so many medical mysteries that have been going on for so long I that it will be a relief to know what exactly is going on. I've just picked up some latest blood results. Make sense to anyone? ANA Positive. Nucleolar
