Just joined, hello everyone.
Hello I have just joined. I am a 69 year old female. My interest is to hopefully chat and maybe, support anyone who has been diagnosed with liver disease in its many silent killer forms. A few good people stood beside me, when I was diagnosed, this changed me, because they cared, they supported

Liver Transplants at the QE Birmingham.
This is really for those who are on the liver transplant waiting list, and who are awaiting that elusive phone call. I have heard that for the time being, all liver transplants are on hold, until this present epidemic has calmed down. Those patients are advised to stay on contact with the transplant

How many liters of water do you drink??
Hello. How much water does everyone else drink for their kidney transplant? For a first few years, I used to drink 4liters or 16 cups of water. One time, I drank around 24 cups of water and I couldn't breathe. Horrible experience. Since then, I toned down alot to around 1-2 liters of water. I think I

What opportunities with this isloation
Keeping inside most of the time now has opened up new opportunities as long ago friends find time to reach out and make contact. Just this past week three have called 'out of the blue' to say hello and ask how are we doing during this strange time. One asked if I still had the photos he had sent 20

Inconsistent and Confusing Advice about Isolation, Social Distance and Shielding and WHY this is REALLY IMPORTANT.
This post began life as a response to another user's post. It got a bit long, so I am posting it in its own right. I would love to hear people's responses and experience of this. I interpreted the recent rheumatology advice in the same way (see the other post here: https://healthunlocked.com/lupusuk/

Hair loss after kidney transplant
I am 65 years old and received a kidney transplant from my husband in September 2019 and all went well. However in the past couple of months I have noticed significant hair loss. I had really thick hair which is rapidly thinning. I believe this could be caused by one of the many drugs. Any suggestions

Stay positive and notice your patterns
Hi All, I am 5 months post 2nd kidney transplant. Being in London and under the care of an excellent hospital, it is absolutely necessary to be getting bloods done in such an early stage. I am at least fortnightly presently and needed to go back today after just one week as having a recent biopsy due

Liver transplants, and a moan?
I have Liver Cirrhosis and my liver is ok thanks to the gods, but I asked my Doctor if If I should go on the transfer list just in case, but he told me I wouldn't get one because of my age I,m only 62 . this really upset me. Youth these days need a brain transplant ?

Acyclovir and kidney transplant
A few weeks ago I had shingles. I was put on acyclovir 800mg 5x a day. Then, from different doctors, they kept telling me that's a high dose for a kidney transplant patient as it can damage it. I spoke to my nephrologist and he didnt seem concerned at all and told me to take them as prescribed by my

Routine blood work and risk of Coronavirus
Hi, How is everyone doing their routine blood draws these days? I'm a kidney transplant and pancreas transplant patient and I'm afraid of going to my local lab which is highly populated and would put me at a risk of COVID-19 infection.
