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

PSA now at >0.1 and T > 10 after seven months after four trips to University of Heidelberg and no ADT besides Dutasteride and Finasteride what can be done to keep the demon from awakening? Provenge, Bicalutemide, and supplements. Supplements are hard to choose since there are so many and costly. Is

Tired
Like many of you I’m sure, but just speaking for myself, I am so incredibly tired of dialysis and kidney disease. I try to just get through a day at a time but it just seems like an endless bad dream ! I still work but have reached a point where I am to tired to do much else. As a former athlete and

Salvage Cryoablation
So..my UroOnc wants to pursue cryoablation after my failed radiotherapy (EBRT/LDR Brachytherapy ). I don't know yet if I can have focal only cryo or have to have whole prostate ablation. I know the ED outcome is bad, but has anyone else had this treatment and how are you doing afterward? Any other

Protein in Urine should I be concerned?

I have Lupus panniculitis/profundus and my GP doesn’t appear interested. What can I do and should

Can kidney transplant patients be architects?
I am an architecture student possibly having a living donor kidney soon (stable on HD) I was wondering, does the tac tremor mean that architecture would be unrealistic? Are there any architects on here? Thanks.

Which high blood pressure medication does not affect RLS ?
Hi I have just been diagnosed as having high blood pressure and have been given Felodipine as my treatment but have noticed that it seems to be aggravating my RLS. Is there other medication which would be more suitable?

Oxygen and Holidays
Hi, I know it’s possible to have a concentrator delivered to a holiday cottage. Can you tell me whether it is sometimes a problem with the cottage owners. I’m on the lung transplant list, but at the moment none are being done. I heard yesterday that it will be at least 2 months, until transplants are

Referred by GP but renal team won't see me

After several more blood tests my GP referred me to the Renal team at East Sussex hospital. Today I spoke to one of the secreataries who told me they

CKD symptoms information
A little background before my question. I am going through testing for what was believed to be a neurological issues, at the same time believed I had a kidney infection as I was experiencing pain in the mid back and foamy urine. I had blood taken by the GP in Feb to check for any issues and it came back

Has anyone had Aquablation? Does ADT reduce prostate size enough to remove catheter?
I am one of those unlucky ones after biopsy I was not a candidate for RP due to my high GS 10. As a result my uro didn't even want to recommend surgery since the PCa was already out of the prostate. As a result I am still wearing the foley catheter. But now am considering surgery to open the channel

Anyone used Prof J. Malone-Lee's approach for Chronic UTIs?
