CPAP - Finally 😁
Happy Thursday Guys I had my introduction and fitting for my CPAP machine yesterday, a sleek looking ‘ResMed, AirSense 10 Autoset’ with clip on humidifier 🤓 I managed about 4 hours with the mask on before waking up. In my sleepiness I didn’t figure that the mask was half off and the airflow was constant

What to know about traveling with Medicare (for USA Patients)
Planning to travel abroad this summer? Before you go, remember to look into Medicare coverage outside the United States. If you have Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance), your health care services and supplies are covered when you’re in the U.S. However, in general, Medicare

FIVE SURPRISING WAYS YOU COULD BE DAMAGING YOUR KIDNEYS
Once we get told about having CKD our first reaction is often, "WHY?" If we know we have Diabetes and/or High Blood Pressure that somewhat mitigates the reason. However, there are many of us who if we find out that we are prone to getting CKD we could take action to stop or slow it down. It takes

Nephrologist appointment yesterday
I just saw my nephrologist yesterday and he took me off my fluid pill because my blood pressure was too low. He will check again in a month to follow u on it. He left me on my Lisinopril 10mgs because it protects my kidneys long term. My egfr is 35 and creatinine is 1.58. He feels the fluid pill was

COPD and BRONCHIOTASIS
I was in a Chemically induced coma for several weeks, when I came to and on top of my other illnesses i was diagnosed with bronchiotasis, the doctor was smiling when she told me the news, as if she was telling i won the lottery. Maybe she did not want to scare me as I already have, high blood pressure

ckd 4 and alport syndrome
First time posting! I was diagnosed with proteinuria 20 years ago. I have taken meds ever since. In the last 2 years my kidneys have declined and I now have a GFR of 21. Dr. says next time I will register with transplant unit. I have changed my diet to be low potassium, but my dr hasn't said anything

Diagnosed with severe sleep apnea
I am a 40-year-old lady who a few days ago was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and sought the help of CPAP equipment and supplies ( https://www.cpapoutlet.ca/Home ). A few weeks ago, I decided to spend my holiday in London and booked a flight. Now I am having second thoughts regarding the machine and

Low blood pressure after treatments
I have been on hemodialysis for a little over 3 months, and I have started having a problem with low blood pressure at the end of each treatment. My systolic is usually in the 80s and diastolic in the 50s or sometimes even the 40s. The clinic won't let me go unless my systolic is 100 or above. Usually
