First dialysis.... not for a wuss
As I promised, I am going to document my journey as I have done before. Now it is hemodialysis. Holy mackerel. Anyone who thinks this is easy, let them sit in the chair for a turn and see what they think. My husband came with me and will be attending the training with me for the next five weeks. I am

Blood Test Results
Hello, I would be grateful for some advice regarding these results. The background is that my Levothyroxine dose was reduced from 100mcg to 75 in early February 2024, due to a TSH only test which was below range. By late March I could barely function so I had a private test prior to the GP's TSH test

I currently am undergoing evaluation for a kidney transplant a major transplantation center, Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine. I passed the first stage by the transplant committee. I am wondering about how patients who have received a kidney transplant deal with transportation to their center

I am now 24 years out from my kidney transplant. I remember it as if it were yesterday! Getting the "call" at 2:30 AM and having to be at transplant center by 5:30...and then not taken to surgery till 3:00 PM. Had a lot of time to "stress out". Picture is of me hiking in Arches National Park in September

new transplant
I am new to this sight. Just want to say I am feeling incredibly grateful for my kidney transplant that occurred on Oct 4. My daughter was my donor and we were both released 2 days later. I was the first robot assisted kidney transplant at Mayo Clinic. I have to say it was fantastic. I have about a 2

High Thyroid Antibodies symptoms
Hi everyone, I am wondering whether having high antibodies can affect one's overall being. After a very bad experience of labyrinthitis in 2022 which led me to an ultrasound investigation when a multi nodular goitre was discovered by an endocrinologist. I was advised then that it was benign and

American Thyroid Association - Thyroid Hormone Testing overview
Like most documents, this has strengths and weaknesses. You might find it easier to follow than some. Though some of it really is quite hard for those not already familiar with thyroid issues. Or more up-to-date (it was published this year - 2024). And it might provide some useful and quotable

Just a quick update, Endo appointment 👿
went to Royal Liverpool Endo dept , was hoping to see the consultant who is on TUK Uk list. Unfortunately this did not happen, the person I saw was less than helpful, see I can be tactful, sometimes. Introduced herself as diabetes consultant and she lived up to that name. The first thing she said

Lab work
Got my labs yesterday and. Was happy to see how well they were. ALB is still low but coming up. Kt/v was 2.41 not sure how they do that on hemo but I’ll take it. Potassium and phosphorus are in range as is hemoglobin. My PTH was low so I need to stop the calciteol. Since my BP at dialysis on Thursday

Kidney transplant
Hi Everyone, I just joined. My kidneys are at 10-12 EGFR and I am striving to find a living donor. I have some resources to do so, but I am wondering what others have done to search for a living donor. I also wonder what others in this situation have done for transportation to a major transplant
