Hi everyone, it’s been a very long time since I’ve posted anything on this forum. Hope you’re all as well as you can possibly be, if not I hope you feel better soon. I have a question for you all and although it’s through the possible worst pandemic this country has been through, I would like to ask

Peripheral Neuropathy in feet

Hi everyone. I have painful , numb feet due to PN for about a year. Did not improve during dialysis and now that I recently had a kidney transplant I am hoping there may be some change? Treating it with pregabalin for the pain. Has anybody else had the same and found any improvement?

Hospital Service Experience for Bilirary Atresia, Leed, Uk

Our daughter will have another operation to attempt to try and clear her Jaundice next week. She had a Kasia on Dec' 14th (born 14/10/20). They will give her a DISDA scan tomorrow (17/02/20) and hopefully try and establish the location of the problem that is still preventing her Jaundice from clearing

VO2max vs cardio fitness

I'm new to this site. I'm a 74 year old man living in York, UK. My Fitbit gives me a score of 42 which is supposed to be excellent for my age. Not long ago I had a proper VO2 max test where I rode an exercise bike with a mask on and they measured my respiratory gases. I was given a score of 13. This

Transurethral Urinary Bladder Resection #2...coming up!

Well, mates...I made it for three years with the bladder neoplasia in check, and undergoing BCG vaccine every few months. Remember I could now go on the lung transplant list having been cancer free for three years. Well Thursday’s cystoscopy put an end to that (although my oncologist argues this type

Spinal Fusion identified while on Lung Transplant List

Good morning all, I have been listed on the Lung Transplant List for over 2 1/2 years now. They noticed I had the start of osteoporosis when I was listed which they put down to years of taking prednisolone. I have recently had a CT scan and it showed up some spinal fusions? Has anyone been taken off

Study indicates COVID-19 vaccines are safe for organ transplant patients.

In what may be the first study of its kind, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have documented the reaction of nearly 200 solid organ transplant recipients to their first vaccine inoculation against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The findings, they say, provide evidence that both the Moderna

Vaccine, kidney transplant receiver and immunosuppresants

Only water fasting after renal transplantation. How long is safe?

Has anybody done only water fasting for over 24 hours after kidney transplant? I had done 7-8 days of only water fasting prior to KT and now have been doing IF of 20/4. I’m also a vegan of 16 years. Is long period of fasting on water safe for renal transplant recipients on immunosuppressive meds? Thx

Liver transplant ambivalence

I took my brother to his hepatology appt this morning (he has hepatopulmonary syndrome as a result of his liver disease). The registrar was great and gave us an overview of all the LT considerations and my brother stared at the floor quite disinterested-he won’t read up on it and would rather not know

Kidney Transplant and Covid Prison

I was actually feeling more like my true self and confident that I was recovering nicely from the transplant surgery, then the covid hit and I have been a prisoner in my own house. The only social activity I have is going for labs and doctor appointments. I miss all the things I used to do: going
