Sleep problems
I am late stage four kidney disease with a GFR of 20. Recently I have had difficulties sleeping at night and wonder if that is common with people at my stage. If so what do you do about it as it adds to the overall feeling of fatigue. My doctor says I am too old for sleeping pills whatever that means

I have possible heart failure of which afib is only one symptom. I had other

From ana positive in past to ana negative??
I have always been ana positive in the past and my recent one was negative which puzzled the rheumatologist, as I have been suffering from increased inflammation which showed in my bloods. I have been feeling dreadful and she says it's due to increased lupus activity. Has anyone else had this happen

How to pee in a pot!
Every time I pee in a pot it’s a reminder that I’m a sick person that I’ve got something like a 1 in 5 chance of progressing to end stage

Furosemide side effects
I am suffering severe hearing loss and inflammation of big toe joints. I understand these are known side effects of the diuretic Furosemide. It was prescribed by GP because I have slight heart failure and various heart valve problems and in danger of water collecting round organs, although I have no

More bad news
I just wish I could banish the fear of dying once and for all as it would probably cure my overall anxiety as well. I have been in hell since March being 56, morbidly obese for years with the fear of catching Coronavirus, and having found out four weeks ago I have heart failure and afib, I am utterly

Cardio inversion worked on afib but not how I feel
Hi I wonder if anyone out there has had a similar experience to me following a cardioinversion. I had one Friday afternoon following three and a half weeks of Afib with a rate around 145 bpm. after 2 weeks I began to get weaker and more tired and despite being a coward I was genuinely glad to walk into

Kidney failure following liver transplant
I'm now 7 weeks post transplant and my liver is working perfectly, but at clinic this week my kidney blood tests were elevated to moderate (stage 3) kidney failure. Is this common following a transplant and is it something that will improve or continue to be a concern or get worse? P.s. I am diabetic
