Do you know when you're having afib?
I had afib for six months before an ablation in November 2016. In October I'd started using a CPAP machine. I also have a Pacemaker for bradycardia; it keeps track of any afib episodes, and I've had none since the ablation. The question is whether I should stay on the Xeralto, blood thinner to counter

Looking to connect with other students with CKD
Hello! I graduated from college this May and I'm preparing to start a creative career in marketing and design. But first I need a transplant. It's been about 6 years since my diagnosis and it would have been nice to be connected with other students who are managing kidney disease and school. It hasn't

Nerve pain
I've been on PD dialysis for 16 months, very compliant, have diabetes (controlled) and hypertension (controlled). I have been experiencing significant pain in my feet and ankles nightly around 4am. Painful to even walk but the pain abates over the morning. I'm pretty sure it's neuropathy. I already

Covid-Two ambulance visits
On the 29th March, I called an ambulance to send my Dad to hospital. He’d been battling Covid for a week or so at home, but it had got progressively worse to the point he was struggling to breath. There was crackling in his chest and I noted his Sats had dropped. He battled in hospital on CPAP for

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and nightmares ... please help
My husband has Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), he has bad nightmares and 12 months ago also developed anxiety and PTSD. I recently read an article that says these 3 symptoms can be linked to OSA. Has anyone else come across this and is there any help to manage these symptoms as they affect his sleep

Covid X Kidneys
So yeah, it's day 48 for us. My mom is struggling a lot with delirium, muscle wastage and some bedsores on her back. My concern now is her kidneys which are not working properly and she is having dialysis from time to time. Doctors told us they have no ideia if that will be a permanent condition. What

Selenium Deficiency: possible relationship to, Immune system, Digestion, Crohns, Hair loss, Infertility, Weight gain, Fatigue...etc
Looking for something in the cupboard yesterday I came across my opened packet of Brasil Nuts... And I thought, ah ha... SELENIUM! Just 2 to 3 nuts per day as I recall, is the required daily amount...ingesting the food containing the selenium is always better than taking the supplement of course. During

Kidney failure and the quacks...
Quacks are the people who are not qualified doctors. There are thousands of them in my country. Once they focus on your pocket, they will try to finish it soon. Friends be careful. When I had this problem for the first time, I tried many online quacks. They looted my pocket and complicated my problem

GFR 8
My husbands GFR is going down and he’s pushing dialysis off. His GFR went from 8.0 to 7.8 in 2 weeks. So is his GFR really still 8? Thanks for your time.

How does Covid recovery differ -please read
Further to my telephone conference call with NHS staff. I have to stress that what I am stating here is largely anecdotal amongst a specific critical care network in U.K. This is also my interpretation and I have no medical training - I do have a subjective understanding of my condition & recovery thereafter

Blood filter may calm the cytokine storm of COVID-19.
Cytokine storms created by COVID-19 are causing major organ destruction and death, and for the first time in the United States, when patients begin to show signs of trouble, physicians are replacing the usual filter in a kidney dialysis machine with a filter known to trap these tiny proteins, with the
