What To Eat When Eating Out?
My husband's labs on 11/25/2020 were Creatinine 1.64 and GFR 40. He was told to start eating low sodium and low potassium, which he did. On 02/25/2021 his Creatinine was 1.21 and his GFR was 57. The Nephrologist gave me credit as the cook. I realize that labs are just a picture of a given day, but

CAPD and PAIN
Hi My First post here, sorry if I screw up. I had a standard CAPD line inserted and then all training and a Baxter machine to receive APD. But the line never worked very well. The doctors decided that it was because I am so tall (6'2" is not that unusual?) Anyway the faulty line was removed and a

Ovary stuck to bowel!
I’ve seen a few people on here say their ovary is still stuck to the bowel, and wanted to know what did their consultants say to them? Why wasn’t it removed? What are the potential consequences of leaving it? Long story short! For many years prior to my diagnosis I would be awoken during the night with

Bubbles or foam in urine.
Hi, I hope everyone is doing well. I had my kidney transplant about 5 months ago. My urine has always foam or bubbles (I'm not sure) in there. There is also no protein in my urine. My doctor's told me the only way there will be foam in my urine is when there is protein in it. They too find it unusually

After 2nd Vaccine Antibodies
As a kidney transplant In the USA, whose responsibility is it to test me to find out if my body has made antibodies after the second covid vaccine? Also, how long do I have to wait to be tested for antibodies?

Woke up to a slightly swollen tender to touch ankle. I didnt injure it although I did bruise the opposite side a month ago. Just wondering if its calcium deposit or could steroids do this? I'm currently tapering to 5.5 mg prednisone. im concerned too if it couldbe an infection.

I have Pleurisy and feel dizzy all of the time
They took samples of the fluid and blood and concluded that it was not heart, liver or
kidney
failure
so the consultant suspected cancer. A few days after I went for a PET CT scan to look for cancer. Thankfully it did not show any cancer.

One step forward, two steps back.
I am so disheartened! My dad had a really bad infection the past two weeks. He's just gotten over it really turned a corner had a trachy fitted and we've been told he has ANOTHER infection! 😭 I am so drained how long will this continue, he is now on day 30 on the vent, continuous infections, really

First time post. Red blood cells in urine.
Hello :) I’m just wondering if it’s normal for women with endometriosis to have red blood cells in your urine. I have all the classic symptoms of endometriosis and I’m waiting for a laparoscopy from June 2020 still pending but things are getting worser each month. My doctor informed me this week I had

Kidney pain / frequent urination in endo?
Hi! I'm new to this forum so hope I'm asking in the right place... I haven't been diagnosed with endometriosis yet as I am still waiting to be seen at the hospital but it is expected. I'm so frustrated with the lack of support by my GP but it sounds like this is quite common amongst endo patients!

Scrotum swelling
I have this type of swelling in scrotum. This comes when I rest. When in standing position for long it goes away. Everytime I went to the doctor the swelling is absent because I would be not at rest position before going there. Scrotum usg show vericocele vein grade 1 only. This thing is there since
