Moderna Vaccine Side Effects
Has anyone had the Moderna vaccine and experienced a worsening of their edema or joint swelling? Mine is usually limited to my lower body and joints, but now even my face is retaining extra fluid. Sound familiar? I had all the other side effects. Not a fun ride, but sans tiredness and the headache

Anybody take Bactrim?
Hi, I was just put on Bactrim, which is an anti biotic, to go with my high dose of Prednisone. Rheumatologist says it is to keep from getting pneumonia.

Hair Loss & Anniversary.
I was taken off Calcitriol months ago and found the old meds when I was cleaning out my trial and error meds box. I started squeezing a capsule in with my regular generic shampoo. I noticed my hair started growing faster and little sprouts where new hair is growing in. It took about a month. I am very

Very confused 🤷♀️
Hi, So not really endo related but I had a liver scan today and after the doctor had finished he said, that my liver was a little fatty and also he noticed something in my liver he was not sure if it was a cyst or something else. He then said he was not sure if he just wanted to do the scan again

Coming out of lockdown safely
Hello everyone, I haven’t been on after I had my transplant in 2018. Since then, I have been campaigning for organ donation and raising awareness about organ donation too. I started an online campaign event platform inviting different renal health professionals to come speak and provide advice and

🤞🏻 Upcoming appointments
Well my son has his appointment for 1st COVID vaccination on the 12/5 but my hubby still to have his 2nd. I have high hopes for appointments next week 🤞🏻I really need this operation for a rectocele repair, it has become so really bad I’d class it as urgent. If the consultant isn’t operating yet there

What to expect after Xtandi?
A quick recap, dad was diagnosed in June 2015 with stage 4 PC that had caused his tumor to become so enlarged that he was in
kidney
failure
and needed double nephrostomy tubes directly to his kidneys for several months. His PSA was 257 and the cancer had spread to a single nearby lymph node.

improved catheter
I have been having great difficulty urinating and most recently it has become scary. I live in the middle of nowhere, a trip to a competent hospital is 2 hours and a good one with a urologist on-call is 3 hours (if we drive the Rover without regard for speed limits) So it can be very scary to have retention

Denied Transplant due to Calcification. Need help.
I have a friend that has been denied a 2nd kidney transplant b/c they say his arteries have calcification over them. They are unable to put it on the left side where the first transplant was, and as I said, the other side has calcification so he was denied. He's looking for a hospital that can do

Thyroiditis finally won. Just thankful I have a Doctor that is willing to treat it.
Had a weird

issue causing chronic
kidney
failure
, eventually having the left
kidney
on top of my right leg removed (yes, you read that correctly). Had trouble with doctors and constant health insurance changes in getting treatment of thyroid issues over the years.

Scared I have heart failure
I am anorexic and I weigh 40 kgs and I’m concerned I have heart failure - I have been having shortness of breath when lying down and things like that. However I’ve been to the hospital and had a chest X-ray an ecg and the doctor said my lungs are clear so I’m not sure what this is. Please help ? Thanks
