Good sats - so why so breathless?
THAT is indeed the question. Why, with my peripheral O2 levels at 94/5 %even 96% am I still fighting to breath? It goes like this. I wake short of breath. I rise and take my Oximeter (I have several; they all show the same) . My level is, say 92%. I do controlled breathing using a computer monitor

Dad has stage 4 cirrhosis
Hi everyone, I have recently found out my dad has stage 4 liver cirrhosis. He isn't eligle for a liver transplant the doctors said he wouldn't be a candidate ( I think this may be because he has COPD) . I'm just so heart broken and so is my Dad. I'm trying to understand what this means for him though.Can

One year stem cell transplant anniversary
This week a year ago I received my donor's stem cells. For those of you not following my posts, it was hard going in the early months but by late June things were looking a lot better both mentally and physically and my hair started its return.. My platelets were one of the slowest things to recover

Defenestration or detouring of cysts in PLD
Recently went to King’s London for possible liver transplant tests due to a large polycystic liver and they feel it is the wrong time. That enough good parts of my liver remain. However it is very large and they are considering draining the cysts. Anyone out there had similar experience ? Jo

recent kidney transplant
June 27, 2023 Just 10 weeks ago I had a living kidney donor transplant. Looking for advice as far as lab values when they’re not normal or things that sound concerning such as a rise in antibody numbers. I wondered how they treated that and how difficult it was to get things stabilized. I appreciate

Starting Home Dialysis-Advice?
I received a kidney transplant in 2014 and now I need another one. I had never been on dialysis before but now I have to go on. I have elected to do dialysis at home. I'm nervous about every part of it from doing it correctly to the amount of space I will need to store materials to whether or not I will

My husband received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor last month. He is doing well. Hopefully it will continue that way.

Psychotic Episodes
Just had a very successful liver transplant 8 weeks ago and am in the very lucky position to feeling better than I have in years. Now everything has settled into a nice routine I just wanted to raise awareness to post op psychotic episodes. I was warned that it is common for post-transplant patients
