Kidney stones and ibs
I believe there’s a link between kidney stones and ibs and other troubles in this area. Over the last 18 months I’ve had 6 treatments of lithotripsy. Finally my last scan said they were clear. Hooray I thought, it was short lived as the rest of the letter informs me, “ we have noticed a little deterioration

Let’s compare notes re: Covid vaccine
Hi all, just wanted to compare notes regarding the Covid vaccine. I’ve seen a lot of discussions but in addition to the need for advocating, I’m curious what you are being told from your transplant teams. I asked a million questions in my appointment today and feel hopeless leaving with no answers.

Parathyroid Adenoma
Does anyone here have any experience with this? During an ultrasound of my thyroid an incidental finding of a small lesion was found which the doc says suggests parathyroid adenoma. My calcium levels were slightly low and then normal on my recent bloods.

Dialysis @ 80 years old after kidney removal...
My 80 year old Dad has cancer in the tube between his kidney and bladder. It was discovered in December, but had likely been there for a little while. At the moment it's not spread and he's in decent shape. Remarkably a week last Friday he was given the opportunity of an operation for this coming Wednesday

Hypo with worsening cholesterol and kidney function
Hi, 1month on levo so far at 25mcg and think I will need an increase at my next NHS review.

Has anyone had success improving these while hypo and without statins
