The reality of
kidney
transplant
or dialysis is more unappealing than the temporary taste of blueberry pie that only causes me more damage. These groups, in my opinion, are to helps us support others as we are on the same journey.

How we grow and empathise through shared story
It happened in the first 12 months of my second
kidney
transplant
, which really is a pivotal time. We never know how those deeper connections might be made. Often, in our most vulnerable states, isn't it? I'm excited about being IN the conversation to shine a holistic light on renal medicine.

New Year, new lungs?
Entering 2022, I'm not disappointed to be waving goodbye to 2021. Covid ruled over us all in the early part of the year and then reared its ugly head again at the end of the year to add further anxiety and stress. However, for someone who up until March was having to shield, in reality it never really

Remaining on a low dose of pred indefinitely
A lot of posts discuss tapering off steroids as a priority, but I'm wondering if there are some members who are happy to remain on a low dose of pred (say, around 5mg or below) and have their GP or rheumatologist's blessing to do so. I mention this because during my last visit to see my rheumatologist

Fibroscan request 4 years after transplant
Good Morning My husband had a liver transplant in 2017 due to NASH cirrhosis. He recently had a diagnosis of asbestosis and emphysema. He is a type 2 diabetic and this seems to be causing him problems and is out of control. He recently had an ultrasound scan of his liver which seems to be causing

GCA, PMR, now vasculitis
Hi folks! Diagnosed with GCA in 2015, with PMR in 2021, and now they tell me I have Vasculitis. I am to have a kidney biopsy soon and this is all too confusing. Has anyone had this problem and perhaps have some good advice for me?

Do I need a specialist?
I have been diagnosed with APS following a stroke at age 40. My care is managed by a stroke consultant at a local hospital. I have minimal change disease of my kidneys (linked to the immune system) and I’m wondering about gluten intolerance. My problem is that I don’t think my consultant knows that much

Hospital App
I went to the hospital as i had testicle pain. I was scared i had an STI of some sort. I got an examination and urine test from the doctor when i was there. The examination came back ok and the urine sample came back with no issues. Is it safe to say i dont have Chlamidya?

Did you stop your biologic for 4th vaccination?
Finally have my 4th jab booked for next Thursday 13th Jan and am trying to work out whether to stop the Adalimumab for two weeks before and after or not. Have had conflicting advice from sensible sources. Rheum nurse said to inject as normal as would be worse to flare and pointed to the versusarthritis

BK virus and Low WBC
Hi - my dad received a
kidney
transplant
about 4 months ago and at first everything looked great. But recently it showed he had the BK virus. First they lowered his CellCept dose and two weeks later the virus had increased. So they removed CellCept completely and his virus levels were coming down.
