Queen's tell all
Had to write today since Prince Harry's book came out to scandalous reviews. My tell all would be title "Where's the scandal" because my life is so very boring at the moment. We have no heat, I'm wanting something fancy to eat. There is vodka sauce pasta from the Italian place down the street. Which,

Weight gain?
I received a transplant 1 month ago. I was never on dialysis, close but I never had to undergo that phase, thankfully. I lost approximately 20 lbs. post transplant, mostly water weight according to doctors. I’m undergoing labs every 3-4 days and my numbers are good. BP is good. My only concern is I’m

Newly diagnosed with CKD and preoccupied with what this means for the future
So, I’m a 59 year old man with only high cholesterol and hypertension (both being treated with medication). My creatinine has been creeping up s-l-o-w-l-y over the past several years, with my internist musing, “let’s keep any eye on this." Recently, had new blood work, with creatinine up to 1.6 and

End stage renal disease body odor
Just met the nicest guy who is on dialysis. He has a distinctive smell that is I am sure related to toxins from the inability of his body to expel them between dialysis treatments. I want to help him with this. I don't want to offend him but don't know how to discuss it or if there is any remedy for

Reading a book
I have been on Dialysis about two years, I pass my time reading on the iPad or Audible books. I still prefer a real book, but as my fistula is in my left arm above the wrist., I find reading hard back books or any book for that matter quite hard. Anyone found an easy method?

Dialysis Headaches
Hello Everyone. I have been on dialysis for 4.5 years. The first 4 years I did home hemo dialysis due to the remoteness of where Iived. 6 months ago I moved to a city where I was able to switch to in-center dialysis. Up until a month ago, everything was fine. About a month ago, I started getting horrendous

Fed Up with everything.
I have been on haemodialysis since May. Having completed all the tests etc at the beginning of November, I was just waiting to go live in the transplant list. My previous consultant, who is now on maternity leave, said my results were good and she even said, I would probably receive a new kidney before

Spoke to nephrologist.
Hello - I finally managed to speak to my nephrologist this morning. I asked about transplant and he said it was possible. In this country they wait until you are gfr 6 or 7 before they put you on dialysis and mine is 21 at the moment so I wouldn't be considered for the transplant list just yet. I

T4 works, I have it in writing, it must be true.....
Had this in writing on an email via a friend, who has asked advice (without my asking him to) from the head pharmacist at one of the major London hospitals (a chum of his), who works for the current consultant in matters thyroid related and clearly thinks she knows about thyroid, and all thyroid patients

Snow Queen... ha ha ha...
Snow Queen was a hard one to come up with living on the east coast. The weather has been beautiful, but I'm not looking forward to the frigid weather. My semester is done. I received an A in my class which is great, butI wish I had learned more. All my fault. I did the assignments but I didn't let it

hospital visit
Have I done the right thing and is ignorance bliss with this vile illness. I have gfr of 21 but everything else seems to be ok. The private consultant was very good and explained everything well. He did say though that if your gfr goes below 20 you could be talking about dialysis so now I am terrified

The Kidney Project
Today I wanted to post in one of the biggest CKD Facebook groups about The Kidney Project. I pointed out that the project is barely advancing due to the lack of sufficient funding and support. So, the government should be persuaded to fund the project. Even 1 percent of annual dialysis expenditure from
