Psychological and fitness assessment form
Hi, I’m filling in my transplant assessment form for a meeting in a few weeks time and some of the questions seem vague. There is a question regarding how healthy I feel today with a scale from 1 to 10 ( eq5d ). Does this refer to mental, physical or general health ? Also , if you say you feel too

Liver transplant vs kidney transplant
For those who have had both, could you let me know if one was "better" or "worse" than the other? I had my liver transplant Sept 22, and though initially recovering well, had a bout of CMV which went on for a long time, and over the last year struggling with poor kidney function, which is currently

Bronchoscopy
My mom was diagnosed with pneumonia 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately 10 days of antibiotics were ineffective. She had a bronchoscopy today and while waiting for results, I was wondering if anybody else was in the same situation and what did the bronchoscopy show?

Chronic Liver Disease Post Transplant
Hi, I had a liver transplant in October 2017 and apart from a little set back right at the beginning, meaning I was in Addenbrookes for 5 weeks, I have been really well. I haven’t even had Covid! However a couple of months ago, I had a CT scan which showed that I have chronic liver disease. To say

Exercise post surgery
Hi, I appreciate there are other more serious matters of concern but I would just like to know what types of exercise and when you started after lung surgery. I am bored with physio and less motivated to walk everyday!

I was prescribed gabapentin capsules but whenever I take them I have shortness of breath my chest feels a little tight and also I feel like I want to cough. I stop taking them and things start to settle down again especially after

Healthy Skin From The Inside-Out
There’s an old saying that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, and that’s very true in relation to your health, including that of your skin. For most people, their skincare routine is all about what cleaners, toners and moisturizers they use. But, that’s only a very small part. Your diet is not only
