Liver transplants, and a moan?
I have Liver Cirrhosis and my liver is ok thanks to the gods, but I asked my Doctor if If I should go on the transfer list just in case, but he told me I wouldn't get one because of my age I,m only 62 . this really upset me. Youth these days need a brain transplant ?

Acyclovir and kidney transplant
A few weeks ago I had shingles. I was put on acyclovir 800mg 5x a day. Then, from different doctors, they kept telling me that's a high dose for a kidney transplant patient as it can damage it. I spoke to my nephrologist and he didnt seem concerned at all and told me to take them as prescribed by my

OFFICIAL NHS LETTER
Hi yet again! Quick addition to my earlier post! I have just received the 'official' NHS shieldimg letter in today's post. Was half expecting it, but it has still made me feel a bit strange to actually have it (don't know if that sounds a bit silly)? Anyway, it's addressed to me personally as the person

Routine blood work and risk of Coronavirus
Hi, How is everyone doing their routine blood draws these days? I'm a kidney transplant and pancreas transplant patient and I'm afraid of going to my local lab which is highly populated and would put me at a risk of COVID-19 infection.

Hi everyone I am new to this so please be gentle with me. I’ve decided to get my backside of the couch and get moving. I am on Dialysis and awaiting a kidney transplant. It has taken me months to have the courage to go out the house and start the couch to 5k as I am embarrassed as I am very overweight

What were you symptoms of IBS?
So lately I’ve been having on and off diarrhea along with loose stools. When I do have a solid stool it seems to be narrow - not pencil thin just smaller than usual. I’m terrified that it is colon cancer. Just wonder what others symptoms were. It seems that some foods can trigger diarrhea/loose stools
