If it’s not one thing, it's another! Update
Following on from the previous post, I had my appointment with the Ophthalmology Surgical Unit yesterday. Basically appeared to be a couple of pre-op tests to take measurements of my eyes. I’ve been given a contact number to call in a day or two to find out where on the waiting list I am. Hopefully

Second kidney transplant
Hi, My nephrologist is putting in the application for me to go back onto the transplant list. I am very lucky as I have had my first transplant for over 28 years. My GFR is running at 12. Something I wondered about is do they remove my previous transplant and put the new one in the same place? I

Blood clots in calf
Has anyone had issues with blood clots (superficial vein thrombosis) in their legs? In April I thought I’d just pulled a calf muscle but on the advice of my Pilates teacher (!) saw my GP who immediately prescribed blood-thinning medication and sent me off to the emergency hospital clinic the next

Transplant.vs dialysis
Hi. I am going through the process for a kidney transplant. I had my first appointment with the transplant deans was supposed by what he was saying. I felt like he was trying to talk me ougetting a transplant. He told me there was no guarantee a transplant would improve my life more than dialysis.

gobsmacked
I can't believe they won't prescribe Subutex to a suffering chronic pain sufferer, but freely give it out to drug addicts.......I'm just gobsmacked. There is a drug out there that could potentially stop me from jumping off a bridge but they won't give it to me. They look at me as if I'm a drug seeker

Relationship trouble

Noo shoos!
Having looked into these shoes that Frizzbomb67 asked about, I decided to order the support version, Brookes Launch GTS. They arrived quickly, and included a free pair of running socks! When I first tried them on I thought they were awful, really stiff and solid, like putting a cardboard box on my feet

Is anyone eating a high protein diet but worried about the effects on their kidneys? Would a high protein intake cause kidney disease eventually?

Strange eGFR Reading?
Last month, my blood test showed a Creatinine level of 1.64 and an eGRF of 45. A follow up test 3 weeks later showed a Creatinine level of 1.60 and an eGFR of 32. Yes, I was a little dehydrated for the 2nd test, but these results make no sense to me. I then used several online calculators and keep
