Timings of NDT and iron supplements
Hi all, I'm struggling to maintain ferritin levels whilst also trying to adhere to the timings of iron supplements around my NDT and other vitamins. My ferritin is rarely higher than 20s (in the last ten years the highest it has been was 52 just once). I've been on NDT for a year and am gradually

Stress, again taking a comeback....
So I have been at work for 10 months and I have had to move rooms that I work in, honestly to help out that room and put the managers mind at rest I would be OK doing it. Well I thought it was lasting a couple of months but it hasn't. I ended up getting stressed out because of the noise and doing nothing

I need some help with this
I am having the most painful but weird cramping. It is only a night and it is getting worse, not better. Yesterday I had them and I did not have dialysis because we infiltrated the fistula, AGAIN. We thought it was the iron I was taking, but I stopped that last week. These cramps are not in my calves

How to improve your blood pressure
I have recently fallen in love. With capillaries. In his brilliant book, ‘The Secret Language of Cells’, Dr John Leif, physician and neuroscientist, dedicates a whole chapter to them, calling these tiny vessels, ‘brain centres’ of tissue development. With a yogic lens, this speaks to the body intelligence

Blood Draw Day Yet Again
I feel so blessed that I found a forum where I can pour my heart and anxieties into and receive so much grace back. This road for me as a partner to a spouse battling IGA had not been easy but this place gives me solice and peace. Today we have another blood draw to hopefully see if the heavy proteinuria

Update on swollen eye, low potassium and low BP now hypothyroid issues.
Finally got an emergency blood test yesterday, results today, GP did not ask for potassium which my symptoms were an exact match to low levels! As expected with the high dose of steroids, results all over the place. Liver (Moorfields thought it was the steroids last week), kidneys now and thyroid TSH
