Dark circles after transplant
Hi everyone A while after my transplant the area around the eyes got considerably dark, similar to before the surgery. This was more pronounced when I was taking oxycodone. Now that I no longer take oxycodone, I still have dark circles but they're not as noticeable as before. The medications I'm on currently

Is it more in the DNA than we think?
This is a question for the experts but even they need some data to go on so here is my point: Reading the forum highlights a wide variation in starting point for COPD. There are some who have been diagnosed in their 40s (even 30s!) and others not until, like me they are in their 60s. It is also the case

New member, please be gentle with me.
Hello everyone, my name is Ian, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Respiratory Failure in April this year. I am on continuous flow oxygen on setting 1 when sitting and 2 when walking and showering, I am on oxygen 24/7 unfortunately, but never mind there are people a lot worse off than me.

Dad has stage 5 CKD
My Dad has chronic nephritis and now he is down to only 14% function which puts him at stage 5 :( The Dr is not suggesting dialysis, my dad is 86 and has not really asked why it's not being offered. I am looking at diet etc and any supplements that might help him but everything I read online seems to

surgery for a blood clot in the heart.
I am now waiting for surgery to remove a blood clot in my heart and the surgeon has said he will ablate at the same time. Then my blood pressure went off the scale and I think I am developing heart failure. My GP is no good to change my BP medication as I end up with terrible side effects. I am now

Confused about fluid restriction
Hi all hope you are all doing well My gfr is 7% and not on dialysis but have my fistula ready for action. For the last 15months I've been on fluid restriction of 1000mls and 160mg of diuretic. All was going well until the last 10 weeks and all I seem to do is gain fluid. Saw my consultant Wednesday and

Update
I previously posted about my Bisoprolol being increased to help breathlessness when in fact it made it worse. Two weeks ago I went to the surgery for a blood test. Got half way across the car park and suddenly couldn't get any breath. This got worse and worse so the Drs called an ambulance and I was

Wondering about Social Life in HD Centers
Hi All! I am 64-year-old man with a long history of dealing with CKD and dialysis. I started doing peritoneal dialysis in 2005 and continued until I got a transplant in 2009. I think I was probably lucky that I didn't have to wait longer. My kidney has been holding up, but my eGFR has been hanging around
