Going back to work
I’m 6 weeks post kidney transplant. I’ve been given 8 weeks to return to work from my doctor. I was surprised at the limited time I had. I never really talked about going back till 12 weeks through my FMLA, but he thinks 8 weeks is enough. I work in a clinic with over 30 people and I’m concerned with

Persistent gout in renal transplant.
Hi, As I understand it many of us will have had gout, I have for 30 years since my transplant. The last 3 years it has been relentless and the past few months: constant. I have been given colchicine and allupurinol but it's not seeming to help any longer. The situation is quite serious as I'm unable

Noo shoos!
Having looked into these shoes that Frizzbomb67 asked about, I decided to order the support version, Brookes Launch GTS. They arrived quickly, and included a free pair of running socks! When I first tried them on I thought they were awful, really stiff and solid, like putting a cardboard box on my feet

New medication for boosting immunity against covid19
Hello everyone from snowy NY. My spouse received his first kidney transplant 11/2018 and I just told him about this news. Apparently, there is a new IV infusion for people who are very immunocompromised to help improve their health from getting covid19, since the vaccinations were not working as hoped

Protein Question
Is anyone eating a high protein diet but worried about the effects on their kidneys? Would a high protein intake cause kidney disease eventually?

Terrified - just dropped to stage 4 CKD
I’ve had my kidney transplant - living, from my mom, for 32 years. I know that’s amazing and I’ve been so incredibly fortunate thus far. But I think it’s starting to fail, my GFR just dropped to 29 which puts me in stage 4 ckd after being in 3a w/ a creatine hovering 1.5 for oh probably over 15 years

Strange eGFR Reading?
Last month, my blood test showed a Creatinine level of 1.64 and an eGRF of 45. A follow up test 3 weeks later showed a Creatinine level of 1.60 and an eGFR of 32. Yes, I was a little dehydrated for the 2nd test, but these results make no sense to me. I then used several online calculators and keep

New here
Hi everyone. I’m new here. 32 weeks pregnant and experiencing severe urethral pain for over a month. Doctors think the baby is on the nerves supplying the urethra. Cystoscopy was clear, no uti. Has anyone ever had this experience? Constant urge to pee and lightning bolts every few minutes shooting down

Endo/cyst on the kidney after MRI - could this happen to you?
Hi ladies! The results came in for the first MRI (still waiting for the results of the second MRI). A cyst was spotted on one of my kidneys and the blood test indicated issues with my kidneys. I know this might indicate deep infiltrating endometriosis on the kidney/ureter or... I know that endo can lead

Any experience with pregnancy after kidney transplant?
hi everyone, I had my kidney transplant in April 2022 and have been given the green light by my nephrologist and transplant team that I am able to go ahead with a pregnancy. Having been through a lot medically including a bilateral nephrectomy prior to transplant, I am overwhelmed at the possibility

Failing kidney transplant
Has anyone over 70 had the experience of a long term transplant failing. What treatment were you offered and is it feasible to expect some form of dialysis?

Zicam post kidney transplant
I am a post kidney transplant patient. Does anyone know if Zicam homeopathic is safe to use? I was told a while back that zinc in a multivitamin was fine. But, most of the Zicam products now I’ve come across are homeopathic ingredients, not just zinc. Looking into for cold.

Three Times Kidney Transplant Recipient: "Third time's the charm."
In 1995, Lisa Myers noticed a mysterious swelling in her feet and ankles. Little did she know that this symptom would mark the beginning of a challenging journey–one that led to a kidney disease diagnosis, ten years on dialysis, and two failed kidney transplants. This is her story as a three-time kidney
