Should Doctor have prescribed B12 injections?
Please advise if anyone else has experienced similar, and what treatment was. Feeling very tired and on occasions breathless when walking uphill.

Stage 5 symptoms just before dialysis begins
Ok, some of you folks who have gone before me, tell me again what symptoms I should be seeing at stage 5 to know it's "time" to start dialysis. I've been waiting for these symptoms to show up for months and I still feel ok, doing pretty much whatever I want to do (within reason for my age-69). I see

Who knows about ferritin/ iron tests? Confused here! Do I need to do something? Help please!

How often should varices be checked?
My husband had three separate episodes of variceal bleeds in the fall of 2020. Esophageal and gastric varices which were either banded or glued. Sent home and no follow up, nothing. Now 18 months later he was back in hospital with another gastric bleed. It took four endoscopies to finally locate and

COVID after Evusheld
I just got a positive pcr COVID test. I received my Evusheld injections March 22nd. So far I’m not symptomatic. We have a free testing program in our city and I get tested once a week. Has anyone gotten COVID after Evusheld? I have no antibodies from the vaccines and one booster.
