Anyone had a 2nd transplant?
Hi all, My wife is just about to be listed for her second liver transplant. She's had many treatments to reverse the rejection but none seem to have worked - in addition she's had multiple CMV infections, sepsis (not helped by being very immunosupressed....), and acute kidney injury. She is about 18

Hello My husband will be starting CAPD at the beginning of July and then moving on to APD. We were told today that we will need to buy a trolley to keep the machine on - does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks Annie

Sugar craving
Hi, I'm struggling with stupid sugar cravings. Are these related to being hypothyroid? I'm recently diagnosed and a week into 25mg of levo. I'm hoping its related but solvable once my medication is right?

Will Oxygen help in the home when suffering from a sickle cell crisis?
Will Oxygen help in the home when suffering from a sickle cell crisis? If this is not the case why do S.C sufferers including those who are a carrier of the Gene need extra oxygen when having an operation? Any opinions and answers would be grateful.
