Amlodipine Side Effects, short and long term
I am on 10mg amlodipine (this dosage was prescribed right off the bat) several years ago, to be taken with 100mg labetalol twice a day. I felt terrible at first but better now, though frequently tired. I'm wondering if these meds are too much and the cause of my fatigue (I am 69 y.o.) I am also being

Transplant Journey outcomes/advice anyone?
Hi, I have had CKD for several years and declined dramatically over the last 6mths -1yr and was actually started urgently on dialysis in July when my GFR dropped to 3 and creatine was 12.43. I had already had a consult and was added to a wait list for kidney transplant in early February of this year.

There Is Hope For CKD — My Story
I wanted to share my experience and journey with CKD with you all. I was diagnosed with CKD stage 3 about four years ago when my eGFR went to 57. I saw two nephrologists over the course of four years and had many renal tests done as well as blood work every six months. My eGFR numbers kept decreasing

Post-Transplant Arterial Line Bruise
Has anyone else experienced inside arm bruises after kidney transplant surgery like this? Very painful, Tylenol won't touch it and they don't want to prescribe anything stronger.

update on test
yesterday I went back for testing as it was 37 before. It was 47 yesterday. I did tell him about The triamterene could give a false reading. He is aware of this and said he didn’t want to change any meds just yet. The diuretic in this keeps my l ankles From swelling. I drank a lot of water before

Queen’s second try
I went to the second kidney transplant center. They were nice I learned a lot. The rooms were so tiny not made for a wheelchair for sure. I still made it. I have one worry. I only have one caregiver. I’m going to have to ask some friends to help me. The second center was nice, professional, and caring
