help with changing hospitals
hi, I’ve been listed for liver transplant in Birmingham. I’m currently being treated for cancer in Liverpool Aintree. They have made so many mistakes it’s unbelievable… They didn’t do bloods for hepatitis and after 16 months of cancer Birmingham discover this is the primary cause. They ruptured

DLA renewal
Hi wondering if anyone has had a successful DLA claim for their child post liver transplant? Daughter was born with Biliary atresia and had a liver transplant a year and a half ago.

Update on progress with MF and the FEDORA clinical trial
So to recap, I was diagnosed with primary MF in October 2022 and asked to join a new clinical trial called FEDORA. After many tests including a BMB, ultrasound on my abdomen, chest X-ray etc. I started on the pre medication of 400mg/day (in one dose) of Fedratinib in capsule form. This was the first

Looking for information
I had my kidney transplant April, 2019. In the last couple of months I have had issues with being so cold that I need a coat or a heating pad. Then after about half an hour, I am so warm it's almost as if I have a horrible sunburn, especially on my back. Is this from the anti-rejection meds?

Long time on wait list
Hoping to hear from people who waited a long time for a liver transplant. Husband has been on the list for 15 months now, and I'm not sure either of us can stand this much longer. He's been called once, about 3 months ago, so at least they haven't forgotten about him, but it's so hard watching him get

protecting against infection
Since I had my kidney transplant 2 years ago during Covid and I’m over 70 years old,I have had to be particularly careful about getting infections. Now that Covid is subsiding and people are going back to normal, I’m not sure how careful I need to continue to be. Before transplant, I had a robust immune

Preemptive kidney transplant experience and results
Everywhere I read, everyone agrees that a preemptive transplant from a living donor is the best you can hope for when you have stage 5 kidney failure. I would like to hear about your experience if you went through transplant before needing dyalisis. What were your GFR, your BUN and your creatinine

Sudden rise in Tacrolimus
I received a kidney transplant in July 2021. Everything has gone swimmingly. I caught a mild case of Covid at the end of July and received a multiclonal antibody infusion. When I went for my August bloodwork, my Tacrolimus trough, which had been running 5-7, was suddenly 9.6. When I did my bloodwork

Amlodipine Side Effects, short and long term
I am on 10mg amlodipine (this dosage was prescribed right off the bat) several years ago, to be taken with 100mg labetalol twice a day. I felt terrible at first but better now, though frequently tired. I'm wondering if these meds are too much and the cause of my fatigue (I am 69 y.o.) I am also being

Stem Cell Transplant (stc) after care
Can someone who has been through a sct, or their carer, give me info about the time after hospital discharge please? We live more than 30 minutes from the transplant centre so the hospital is providing us with a flat in Bristol where my husband will be my carer. I know the early days he'll need to

Transplant Journey outcomes/advice anyone?
Hi, I have had CKD for several years and declined dramatically over the last 6mths -1yr and was actually started urgently on dialysis in July when my GFR dropped to 3 and creatine was 12.43. I had already had a consult and was added to a wait list for kidney transplant in early February of this year.

Post-Transplant Arterial Line Bruise
Has anyone else experienced inside arm bruises after kidney transplant surgery like this? Very painful, Tylenol won't touch it and they don't want to prescribe anything stronger.
