Struggle after transplant
Hi all,My partner had a liver transplant on 25/02/2024. The surgery was a bit more complex from an anurysm but went well. Unfortunately he was taken back into surgery less than 24 hours later due to a leaking artery which was thankfully treated. He was out of ITU two days later. Four days later he experienced

Lung Transplant + Fermented Foods
Hello, I have a question for lung transplant recipients: are you allowed to eat anything fermented? I may need a transplant in the near future, but I have a histamine problem which is controlled with antihistamines and DAO tablets. The problem is that the DAO tablets are essentially fermented peas

Any experience with pregnancy after kidney transplant?
hi everyone, I had my kidney transplant in April 2022 and have been given the green light by my nephrologist and transplant team that I am able to go ahead with a pregnancy. Having been through a lot medically including a bilateral nephrectomy prior to transplant, I am overwhelmed at the possibility

Failing kidney transplant
Has anyone over 70 had the experience of a long term transplant failing. What treatment were you offered and is it feasible to expect some form of dialysis?

Zicam post kidney transplant
I am a post kidney transplant patient. Does anyone know if Zicam homeopathic is safe to use? I was told a while back that zinc in a multivitamin was fine. But, most of the Zicam products now I’ve come across are homeopathic ingredients, not just zinc. Looking into for cold.

Three Times Kidney Transplant Recipient: "Third time's the charm."
In 1995, Lisa Myers noticed a mysterious swelling in her feet and ankles. Little did she know that this symptom would mark the beginning of a challenging journey–one that led to a kidney disease diagnosis, ten years on dialysis, and two failed kidney transplants. This is her story as a three-time kidney

Prednisone for treatment of AIG
I've just been started on Prednisone or Prednisolone, immunosuppressant steroids, for treatment of Autoimmune Gastritis/autoimmune PA. This has recently, within the last few years been shown to possibly heal AIG, although not entirely cure. It is also used to prevention immune system rejection of organ

How to improve your blood pressure
I have recently fallen in love. With capillaries. In his brilliant book, ‘The Secret Language of Cells’, Dr John Leif, physician and neuroscientist, dedicates a whole chapter to them, calling these tiny vessels, ‘brain centres’ of tissue development. With a yogic lens, this speaks to the body intelligence

Kidney transplant
I had a kidney transplant nearly 3 years ago. I would like to treat my hair to a wash-in dye, the type that washes after about 6 weeks but I'm not sure this will be OK due to the anti rejection drugs I'm taking. Any advise would be welcome

Kidney transplant assessment
Hi I have stage 5 failure. My GFR IS 10. I had my first kidney transplant in May 1995. This will be my second. I am meeting the transplant surgeon, nephrologist and anaesthetist this Wednesday. They will let me know if I am suitable to go back on the transplant list. I am really really nervous and scared

taking Urso
I know some of you have already read the comments on the FB page. The subject of taking Urso, even though it causes so many side effects and ‘doesn’t keep me from dying’, has been brought up. I feel in my heart I need to offer my thoughts. I have been taking Urso for over 35 years. I had PBC for 20
