Covid -19, still a big risk for some.
Some time ago, I wanted to post up a warning about the various covid vaccines, and of the lack of protection they might offer for some. Back in April, (not long after I had my first covid-19 vaccine), news began to filter through on the “Royal Free Hospital London, Liver Transplant Support Group” Facebook

A little disheartened!
So I'd rather keep things positive but I suppose I can only be honest! Its 7 weeks since ablation for afib. Before ablation I was symptomatic during afib (shortness of breath,dizzy and palpitations and sweating) but when it self terminated after a while I was generally fine. And could excersise generally

No stent extra meds
After having a cardiology angiogram last I was told then by the cardiologist that I would need a stent but he would speak to colleagues. Then I got a letter to say I’m staying on my meds plus statin’s and aspirin. My finding were “Access was via the right radial artery. Results showed mild ascending

Kidney issues post liver transplant
Hi I'm 1 year post liver transplant, but my kidneys seem to be taking a hit. My GFR is reducing at each blood test. It is now 39 and drops by about 5 every time. They've not said if it's now CKD but I'm worried as the internet says 39 is stage 3B. They have reduced my tacrolimus to 1mg twice daily,

Can Too Much Sleep Hurt Us?
Hi -- I am 73, have mild kidney failure, a lung disease, and since 2018 AFIB and mild heart failure. Even before the heart problems I was always tired. Now some days I am good for nothing and want to just sleep half of the day. I sleep so great & can fall asleep in like a minute. Usually 8 hours a night

Experience with Tacrolimus with or without Azathioprine
Hi all! My drs are suggesting to put me on tacrolimus alongside AZA to help with my joint pain. Has anyone been on tacrolimus? With or without AZA or another immunosuppressant? How is your experience? Anyone have any knowledge/experience of long-term tacrolimus? Also, I got told by the nurse

Has anyone used cordyceps as an adjunctive treatment for kidney disease?
Cordyceps worm mold is widely used in China to treat kidney disease, and some scientific studies indicate that it may reduce creatinine values in patients with chronic kidney disease. I have never found found much personal benefit from it. Conclusions of recent Chinese study: "Current evidence shows

Down to 10mg Pred instantly!
Hello again, Just seen a rheumatologist for the first time, having been diagnosed with PMR in early January this year. Went from 15mg pred to 12.5mg by March. She has put me down instantly to 10mg, which she says I should be on after six months, then reduce by 1mg every six weeks. This I think, is

Dronederone
Hi all Two months ago I was prescribed 400mg Dronederone twice daily to slow down the frequency of AF episodes and also their duration. These were coupled with 5mg Bisoprolol and my usual Apixiban. Sunday evening at 7pm an episode started and as I write Tuesday 11am still ongoing. So it would seem this

What dosage of calcium supplement is recommended when on prednisolone?
I'm on 7.5mg of prednisolone. At my rheumatologists appointment today I advised him that I wouldn't be taking up his recommendation of Alendronic Acid despite having a very small amount of osteoporosis in my lower lumber region. I advised him that I was taking Caltrate which has 600mg calcium/200 IU

LIOTHYRONINE SODIUM (Generic) by Sigma Pharm (T3) contains Mannitol - What?
Hi all, I've started using T3 and I got the 5mcg pills from Sigma Pharm. I've just looked up what's in them and found that they contain mannitol. So I've googled mannitol and not found anything that goes to explaining why it should be in my T3 pills. I'm a bit freaked out at some of the uses listed
