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. My cholesterol and kidney function results are heading in the wrong direction, despite doing exercise and eating healthier with plenty of water. Has anyone had success improving these while hypo and without statins

I saw the MPN Specialist on Wednesday to review my status and treatment plan. I have been having issues that the doc agrees are likely related to chronic iron deficiency from the phlebotomies. There are of course, a host of secondary symptoms that the MPN Specialist also noted are quite common with

I am absolutely devastated this morning. My tooth crumbled when I was eating brown bread. I’ve had 2 dental abscesses in 4 months. I look after my teeth. I lost 2 teeth years ago (I didn’t know I had SLE) and was fobbed off by dentist as it must be my poor dental hygiene. Now I’m here again. I feel

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.

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

However there is a plus side to this.. you are now well educated on
kidney
failure
. This is not meant for medical diagnosis but if your gfr is 56 like you say you are , you are really well off compared to the ones in stage 4 or 5.
