Mobility Post ICU
I was on ITU for roughly 10 days - 6 of those in a coma on the ventilator for
respiratory
failure
. My main concern post discharge are my mobility issues. I can walk, best with a crutch - but only for small distances. My exercise tolerance is super low. As is my concentration.

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

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.

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

Colds/flu/viruses and Thyroxine
Just wondering is there any link to having Hashimotos and not having any colds/flu/viruses. The reason I ask is that I never got sick, with the usual colds etc for many years. I just started thyroxine a few months ago. Now I have a really horrible virus, coughing, temperature, flu like symptoms. This

Pneumonia recovery / Bronchiectasis - what is what? Questions! Thank you
Hello everyone ! Background: I am five weeks post-pneumonia diagnosis. Mild bronchiectasis was diagnosed in both lower lobes (but only partially) one week post-infection. Had pneumonia also 11 months prior - many chest infections in previous years. Questions: Could the mil bronchiectasis be pseudo-bronchiectasis
