Let’s try “Dry Covid” – lockdown is the time to kick our national alcohol habit for good
"Off licenses aren't essential services – and closing them during the coronavirus pandemic would yield more for the nation’s health than almost any other policy intervention." Just to let people know, that at the moment the QE Hospital in Birmingham have put liver transplants on hold for the time being

I am a liver transplant recipient, long wait on the transplant list, 19 months, due to my type B blood. Usual complications that come with end stage decompensated cirrhosis. Transplanted August 2018 at the Royal Free and making an excellent recovery after a long journey. Happy to ask for and give support

Just joined, hello everyone.
Hello I have just joined. I am a 69 year old female. My interest is to hopefully chat and maybe, support anyone who has been diagnosed with liver disease in its many silent killer forms. A few good people stood beside me, when I was diagnosed, this changed me, because they cared, they supported

Liver Transplants at the QE Birmingham.
This is really for those who are on the liver transplant waiting list, and who are awaiting that elusive phone call. I have heard that for the time being, all liver transplants are on hold, until this present epidemic has calmed down. Those patients are advised to stay on contact with the transplant

How many liters of water do you drink??
Hello. How much water does everyone else drink for their kidney transplant? For a first few years, I used to drink 4liters or 16 cups of water. One time, I drank around 24 cups of water and I couldn't breathe. Horrible experience. Since then, I toned down alot to around 1-2 liters of water. I think I

What opportunities with this isloation
Keeping inside most of the time now has opened up new opportunities as long ago friends find time to reach out and make contact. Just this past week three have called 'out of the blue' to say hello and ask how are we doing during this strange time. One asked if I still had the photos he had sent 20

Inconsistent and Confusing Advice about Isolation, Social Distance and Shielding and WHY this is REALLY IMPORTANT.
This post began life as a response to another user's post. It got a bit long, so I am posting it in its own right. I would love to hear people's responses and experience of this. I interpreted the recent rheumatology advice in the same way (see the other post here: https://healthunlocked.com/lupusuk/

In extremely vulnerable group but don't understand why
On Monday I got a text, followed by a letter, informing me that I have been identified as someone at risk of severe illness and thereby extremely vulnerable if I were to catch coronavirus.

Hair loss after kidney transplant
I am 65 years old and received a kidney transplant from my husband in September 2019 and all went well. However in the past couple of months I have noticed significant hair loss. I had really thick hair which is rapidly thinning. I believe this could be caused by one of the many drugs. Any suggestions

Stay positive and notice your patterns
Hi All, I am 5 months post 2nd kidney transplant. Being in London and under the care of an excellent hospital, it is absolutely necessary to be getting bloods done in such an early stage.

Acyclovir and kidney transplant
A few weeks ago I had shingles. I was put on acyclovir 800mg 5x a day. Then, from different doctors, they kept telling me that's a high dose for a kidney transplant patient as it can damage it. I spoke to my nephrologist and he didnt seem concerned at all and told me to take them as prescribed by my
