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.

Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

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

As the experts predicted I now have my 3rd uti. I rang my surgery yesterday on the off chance I could get a repeat script but I don’t why I bothered because I just got the usual response of - no chance were fully booked- ring 111. So I rang at about 4-30 pm -and 111 was also fully booked I think because

Annual Thyroid Palaver NHS
I checked my medical record online yesterday and I've been summoned by letter for annual NHS thyroid check (yay) but they've also requested electrolytes and GFR blood tests. I dont have kidney problems and had GFR done last year which was fine so am wondering is this something they now include for

How to improve your blood pressure
I have recently fallen in love. With capillaries. In his brilliant book, ‘The Secret Language of Cells’, Dr John Leif, physician and neuroscientist, dedicates a whole chapter to them, calling these tiny vessels, ‘brain centres’ of tissue development. With a yogic lens, this speaks to the body intelligence

Kidney transplant
I had a kidney transplant nearly 3 years ago. I would like to treat my hair to a wash-in dye, the type that washes after about 6 weeks but I'm not sure this will be OK due to the anti rejection drugs I'm taking. Any advise would be welcome

Stage 5 renal failure plus dialysis and cirrhosis of the liver
Wondering if anyone else in the world is dealing with these two together. My husband is, and we're scared. We're hopeful, but doctors don't know how this happened other than being diabetic for decades. Never a drop of alcohol, but a heavy meat eater. Diabetes is in control, A1C too, but hemodialysis

My husband had kidney transplant about 3 months ago. Wanted to reach out to you if you had an excessive urination , frequency , urgency and incontinence up to this time. It seems like he urinates most at night I would say what he had drunk during the day ..

Good evening, Tomorrow is my 15 month kidney transplant anniversary (transplant Nov 16. 2022). My battle with CMV appears to be resolved. My CMV data consistently tests “not detected” now and has for the past 3 months. This has been a major battle. I was CMV- pre transplant but the donor kidney was

Kidney transplant assessment
Hi I have stage 5 failure. My GFR IS 10. I had my first kidney transplant in May 1995. This will be my second. I am meeting the transplant surgeon, nephrologist and anaesthetist this Wednesday. They will let me know if I am suitable to go back on the transplant list. I am really really nervous and scared

protein supplements: yes or no?
Since I just finished Viewray Tx at UCLA, I’m moving on to the diet & exercise research zone. I’d like input on what the latest research, if any, is RE protein supplements. Whey isolate vs. vegan protein supp? Does either one promote or suppress PCa after Tx? Also, what’s the latest on eggs? It seems

Digestive symptoms post dialysis
my husband has been on center hemodialysis for about a year and a half. None of the medical staff seem to be able to understand or help with the extreme throat/esophageal discomfort he feels for close to 24 hours following dialysis., with no appetite. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this. He
