Refused a kidney transplant
Hi Everyone, it’s been quite while since I have posted anything, but what I just went through tonight still has me wondering if I made the right decision. I was working tonight, when I received a phone call from my transplant center. I was offered a kidney, and I refused it. I just had a doctors appointment

AFIB free from CPAP and ASD
Since we're talking recovery, I'd like to offer my experience. I presented with bradycardia and Afib in June 2016. I got an emergency pacemaker for the bradycardia. I then tried various meds for afib, none of which worked. I went to Dr. Huang at U of Rochester. After an ultrasound, he said to go

Keep moving and gaining strength on dialysis
hi all, I am a big fan of movement - for me I enjoy dance, long walks in nature and asana (the movement aspect of yoga which is just one aspect of what yoga is). As a yoga teacher and naturopathic nutritional therapist, I am so grateful to have the tools to really take care of myself. Here I share a

Dialysis Feel better or worse?
My primary says his ckd patients feel better on dialysis. However some of my research indicates the opposite. If some of you on this forum, currently on dialysis, could respond, I would appreciate a brief answer to the following: Do you feel better or worse?

Alcohol
Alcohol, some people like a wee tipple, some people don't. Some can't. I did, more than I probably should've when I went to the football with my mates. Now I don't really like it, can't seem to stand the taste. Used to live a wine and a port on a Saturday night now it's juice or hot beverage these days

Easter is coming
As I reach the end of week one with Easter looming I was reminded today of Jesus’ struggle to the peak of Golgotha in his crown of thorns and crucifix on his back as I similarly dragged my Adidas cap and iPhone to the top of the gruelling Crowborough Beacon. I guess I slightly had the upper hand, since
