How many kidney disease patients are limiting their diets to plant based (vegetarian)? I did, and my GFR is almost normal.
Kidneys are still damaged but swtching to vegetarian reduces load through diet. Rduce sodium, calories, Potassium, Phosphourus to limits enforced through diet will help damged kidneys to be able to function well enough to maintain normal GFR etc.

shortness of breath subsequent to zoledronic acid infusion
Because of GI problems, bisphosphonate tablets are not an option for me, so I have gone down the infusion path. I had my first infusion on December 28th, and experienced about three days of bad muscle pain, which then resolved itself. It was a couple of weeks later that I noticed that my ankles were

GTN Spray
Has anyone found a simple way of carrying your GTN spray around without it bulking up your pocket.... Mine is around the size of a pack of polo's and is a pain in my trouser pocket (male and No I don't want a man bag 🙂)I looked for some sort of lanyard thing to hang around my neck underneath my clothes

Struggling
My partner had a fall 8 weeks ago whilst on holiday in Bulgaria. He had a fractured occipital bone and 3 small bleeds on the brain. He spent 12 days in hospital and a further week in the hotel before he was fit to fly. Within three days of being home he was walking quite well, only occasionally using

Iron Infusion
Sue perhaps you can help me, I have been successfully relying on diet for years but RLS seems to be catching up. I am in Australia. Perhaps its simply a matter of getting older (currently 79) but a couple of other things might be a problem. I tore a hamstring muscle or tendon that apparently caused

Vasospastic angina and migraine.
Been a while since I posted. I have vasospastic angina. I've been having what I call 'episodes ' on and off over the last month. GTN spray has been used on a more regular basis. I've noticed that over the last few days a migraine has been creeping in. Definitely not how my migraines usually present

b12 purchase
Hi I was treated by GP for low B12 for a year but once my levels were midway on “normal range” the injections were discontinued and I struggle to find ways to boost my intake orally. I have just purchased Hydroxocobalamin online but am unsure if the dosage is similar to that I was previously prescribed

Feeling rough
I had a MI in March last year and had 1 x stent several days later. Since then I've had various problems with the medication that I was given with mainly fatigue, so my medication was tweaked for several months after. I am now on the dosages I was originally put on and have been for a while and felt

Dizzyness when walking no chest pain though?!
Hello, Last week I had squeezing chest pain when walking after my heart rate shot up to 140bpm. I didn't feel dizzy or have much shortness of breath and it went away after using GTN spray. Since the day after that, every time I go for a walk I'm getting dizzy to the point of needing to stop walking.

New Year update
Firstly Happy New Year to everyone. Had a phone call last Thursday from my surgery to book an appointment for a blood pressure review. Had the appointment this morning what an utter waste of my time and the GPs time they wanted to see me as my BP is still stubbornly very low and I'm still getting lightheaded

Switch diet to Vegetarian - save your kidneys
Please kidney patients switch your diet to plant based. I did and it saved me from dialysis. Look up Dadvice on faecbok, Jen Hernandez a dietician who worked in Dialysis patients who now promotes a plant based diet (vegetarian). You can type in Jen Hernandez as a search. Another source has a program

Angina?
20th October I started to feel unwell after a week of stresses. Then the day after thought I had a bit of a bug from my granddaughter. By the next day I felt I had indigestion that seemed to come on as soon as I began to eat? Monday to wednesday bouts of pain in chest through to the back, neck, jaw

Inguinal hernia
Hi, I have been diagnosed with IBS-C but also have an inguinal hernia. The pain that I get is right by the hernia site. Has anybody else had similar? The pain is continual at the moment and both Fybogel and Docusate don't seem to have helped despite making my stools somewhat softer ‐ they are still
