Does anyone have any advice for me?
I have CSS (diagnosed in 2008). I also have, heart failure, asthma and Bronchiectasis (progressive lung damage); all due to the CSS. You can imagine the amount of meds I'm on. I tried to claim for an exemption card two weeks ago but have just received a letter to say "NO" because I don't have one

Thyroid Hormones Decrease Plasma 1a,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Levels
Somewhat ironic that we see this very detailed explanation of why "active" vitamin D is low in HYPERthyroid people, while the most common story here is of HYPOthyroid people having low vitamin D! As so often, the work was done in mice. Be good to know if the same is true in humans. [i]Endocrinology

COPD and SVT
Hi all, I'm new to the site and looking for some help, please. In November I was rushed to hospital with pneumonia, which I'd never had before and the diagnosis was Type 2 respiratory failure and possible heart failure. I was admitted to intensive care and stayed there for 5 days then onto a ward.

Are there any kidney transplant groups?
Does anyone know if there is any such thing as a transplant meeting group either in person or online where transplant patients who are maybe looking to find a partner can go? When I was on dialysis the thought of finding a partner was far from my mind, but now I have had a transplant I get the feeling

kidney disease and diabetes
I've been insulin dependent for over 40 years and on dialysis coming up to 1 year. I have noticed that since starting dialysis my blood sugar levels are really difficult to control. It doesn't seem to take much to make my readings sky high and i'm taking more insulin than ever to try and keep things

Peritoneal Dialysis or Haemo?
Currently being "worked up" for living donor transplant from my brother but need to make a decision on dialysis as a back up. Am thinking of PD rather than Haemo. Can anyone tell me whether there is any discomfort when "carrying" the fluid in your peritoneum. Not sure how much fluid goes in but do you

Does anyone take Renagel (Sevelamer hydrochloride) and have any side effects?
I was on Calcichew for years and quite happy on it. The Doctor changed it as my phosphate levels were getting higher.

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

COPD and heartattack (heart didn't stop)
My mum has COPD - heart failure and recently had a heart attack (the heart didn't actually stop). She has 15 minutes of oxygen twice a day. The heart attack was about 2 weeks or so ago. She is currently at home and is very depressed. Just walking to the toilet makes her breathless. She has spent a total
