6 month transplant anniversary!!! Whoo hoo
Today is the 6-month anniversary of my kidney transplant. All continues to go very well with the exception of low white blood cell count. This has improved some but still comes in between 3.0 and 3.75 with 4.0 being the bottom of the normal range. Inspite of my low WBC count and pulling of bactrim 7

10 Year Anniversary
A few weeks ago I realized this is the ten-year anniversary of when I started dialysis. I started in August of 2013 in the days after I had a knee surgery. I was 14 years old. I'm now 24 years old. In the time since I started dialysis I started and finished high school, started and finished college,

NT-proBNP test shows over 1800 (2,255) Does it indicate heart failure?
Latest info: When I saw my doctor, having experienced some worry about this test, he was immediately aware that the high BNP level was directly attributable to my permanent AF. He explained that he had only asked for the test to establish a 'base level' for my proBNP reading and despite the relatively

Need a rant
Last week I had some devastating news I have a rare liver condition and now because of the AF and bradycardia I have been told that I have no other options but to have a liver transplant because the AF complicates things I'm really upset and scared I really don't know what to do. I've got to have

Bisoprolol
Fatigued and VO2 level is very low. Could Bisoprolol be the cause and is it safe to come off it if it is. I take 1.25mg daily for Tachycardia.

Afib and heart failure
Does afib always lead to heart failure?I have just had a medication review with a specialist who works with our GP surgery and doctors. He claims that any afib present leads to heart failure between 1 and 20% in the early stages. This is frightening. My afib episodes are very symptomatic and come around

What should you expect from your GP after major heart surgery, shirt term and long term?
Apart from my initial call to request repeat warfarin prescription in which case I was told to go online, my GP has not acknowledged the last 2½ months of my urgent surgery. I am a congenital heart patient who had been trying to get cardio check ups in London every year to no avail. I had to take another

Immune Responses + Autoimmune Myelofibrosis
There were some posts a few weeks ago on adverse immune responses after vaccination for people using interferons. I had this experience while transitioning form HU to Peg, firstly with a covid jab last December and secondly with the first of the Shingrix jabs in March, which triggered, at the very least

ibuprofen gel
Currently unable to contact a pharmacist or doctor. Does anyone know of a topical pain killer gel I can take whilst on anticoagulants? Apparently, ibuprofen gel is a no-no. Thanks Thanks everyone, pharmacist confirmed I can use Deep Heat, Heat Patches and or, paracetamol.

Changing from Adoxaban to Apixaban … what to expect?
Good morning forum. While waiting for a second cardioversion the medics have decided to change my anticoagulant from Adoxaban to Apixaban (the low dose Adoxaban I was on until this morning could be a bit borderline if I put on just a pound or two weight). A bit fed up as this delays the cardioversion
