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

Antibiotics
Has anyone been prescribed Co-trimoxazole and Cefalexin 500mg to take together? I have a chest infection Klebsiella and have been prescribed the two antibiotics, however, I'm feeling quite unwell, shivery and then hot and not sleeping and wondered if anyone else has had these side effects? It could

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

Posterior subcapsular cataracts surgery
I am 2 years post kidney transplant due to PKD. I went to a routine eye exam yesterday and after a retinal scan was told I need to have cataract surgery, sooner rather than later, as this type of cataract progresses quickly. Anyone have this issue? Any pre/post eye surgery precautions related to

UTI/AF
Since having a kidney transplant I am bothered with UTI's which quickly clears up after taking antibiotics. I also have a PAF episode more or less within a day or two of this. Has anyone else noticed having AF when also having an infection? My potassium and magnesium levels are lower than normal when

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

Dialysis, what are the cons?
I'm a way off from having to have dialysis but am wondering about the cons of it. I know the pros but would like to hear from dialysis patients what it's like, the cons, the diet, labs, etc. Not really sure but I have a feeling that it's not as cozy or as simple as it looks to be. Also, maybe from

Sauna post-kidney transpant
My kidney transplant was almost 2 years ago. All is doing well. I have loved my home sauna in the past and would love to resume using it this fall/winter. My transplant doctor suggests that would NOT be a good idea - not because of hydration issues, which could be managed but because the heat of the
