Severe Lung Scarring from Pneumonia
Hello, I have posted about my dad who is in his late 70s in ICU for severe pneumonia here before, but here is the current situation. At the moment, he is stable and he is close to weaning off sedation completely and starting ventilator weaning (trachy) soon. His ventilator setting is O2 35%, Saturation

Feeling Cold
Does anyone feel really cold with AF? My partner says he feels cold all the time when he always used to be rather than me.

Switching to home hemodialysis
I have been on peritoneal dialysis using a cycler, which has been wonderful, for two years. Unfortunately my clearance has been falling over the last four months and treatment increase in the amount of dextrose has caused me to gain nearly 30 lb. My clinic has me scheduled to begin training for home

Steroids not working?
I’ve just had a 5 day rescue course of prednisolone due to an asthma flare. However, my peak flow is still only about 70% and I have an itchy, scratchy throat and cough. I don’t actually have a cold so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve never had a course of steroids before where it hasn’t made me completely

Elevated creatinine from tacrolimus?
I am 19 months out from my kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Was doing well and my creatinine was actually within the normal range at about a year post transplant. However, since then my creatinine has been creeping up and now is 1.74. Have tried lowering my protein intake, and more hydration

Flu vaccine post covid
Hope everyone is well. I got covid early last month(September), how long should one wait before getting the flu vaccine. I have read/ been told, once you’re feeling better your can have your flu jab. It’s been a month for me since having covid, and feel it should be fine to get the flu jab now.
