Hi Everyone, I am a 42 year old man and I had a kidney transplant 1 year ago.
Hi, as stated above I had a kidney transplant last year. It has been very successful. Having said that I do have some anxiety because I have been drinking quite a lot of black tea this past couple of months. Stopped drinking it early part of the week. I am having irregular heart beats and some dizzy

LVV Relapse Update
Good news … after 2 weeks at 25mgs pred, my markers are back to “normal”, ie CRP at 2 and ESR is 8. I have had two TCZ jabs a week apart, so could this have already created the masking effect, which had waned with the 4 weekly jabs? Now to begin the taper: 20mgs for 2 weeks and then 17.5 x 2 etc.

Finally found some relief for IC
Hi everyone, I’m 48 & was diagnosed with IC & Hunners ulcers after having a bladder lift in 2005 & having the mesh fall apart & get stuck in my pelvic floor wall. The mesh was of course toxic and did a number on my bladder as well. I tried EVERYTHING you could imagine & kept track of when pain would

working out / personal trainer
I'm 14 and half months post kidney transplant and my new kidney is in the right lower quadrant. I am going to start working out with a personal trainer. I wondered if anyone else has had work with a trainer and are there exercises to stay away from during this time? I was thinking like "crunches"

electric toothbrush, and Trigeminal Neuralgia
hello everyone, does anyone use an electric toothbrush and they also have trigeminal neuralgia?, I stopped using my electric toothbrush in fear of the pressure causing/triggering the pain. Now I feel as though my teeth are not as clean.

PET scan 8/21 following PSA 54.5 showed numerous bone lesions. Zytiga, prednisone, Eligard knocked PSA to <.064 until 1/23 PET showed new small lesion in left hip. Radiation 35 Gray 5/5 completed 3/15/23 with PSA drop then bounce from 0.24 to 5.9 triggered another PET on 9/6/23 which showed a new metastasis

What would cause spontaneous prostate stimulation?
What would cause spontaneous prostate stimulation while lying on my back? When I lie down, in a few seconds it feels like someone is manually stimulating my prostate. This lasts for hours at a time and I cannot sleep. This started immediately after a nocturnal emission, and I haven't had one since, even

I have been in stage 4 with CKD for about 3 years. So far, my numbers are remaining stable...which I am grateful for. Not sure if I need to be on this site yet, but I have a few questions. Can anyone tell me the average time from CKD diagnosis to starting dialysis or signing up for a transplant? Thank

can heart function improve ?
After my husbands stroke seven months ago he was diagnosed with stage 2 heart failure . I asked the arrhythmia nurse if there was a chance he could have another eco cardiogram to see if this had improved because how do we know how much exercise is safe etc if we don’t know this ? She just sort of stared

Doctors perform kidney transplant on awake patient
Doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago have performed a kidney transplant on a patient who was awake the whole time. They say the technique used updated anesthesia methods which may now be used for more patients who would be considered too risky to go fully under, which is the standard
