Anyone with gastroparesis?
Hi all. I have gastroparesis (slow emptying of the stomach). This started when I went into failure in fall 2021, and just after my first and only bout of diverticulitis. I am now even wondering if what I had was that. Anyway, I received a kidney transplant in August 2022 and am doing well except for

Comparison can be good for the soul...
I do not often write on here but it seemed these musing may be of interest to others so here goes... ONE of the great advantages I find from attending the courses run by the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Service (PRS) is comparison. And after today's session I feel encouraged. Not that I am significantly

post lung transplant
I have recently been accepted on the lung transplant list (November). I would value any advise/experience on the subject. I apparently have a very good blood group thus estimated waiting 50% 6 months, 80% 12 months. Thank you in advance Paul.

Getting older with ss
I'm in my 40's now and I have fewer pain crisis then I had when I was younger. You'd think things would get easier because of this but it isn't. Now I'm dealing with a lot of health problems that sickle cell caused or exacerbated. Like heart problems (which I take meds for), a bad hip (which I had replaced

I Feel like I should be grateful to be on the waiting list for a new liver. But I really don’t feel grateful to towards the kind doctors.
I hate the way I feel about the thought of a new liver transplant. I have made it know to doctors about my feeling towards a new liver transplant. I feel great at the moment and I only on one type of tablet a day. For my liver condition. After I have a new liver transplant I will be on 27 different

I really don’t want a liver transplant but do not know how to get of the list for good.
I really don’t want a liver transplant. Last year in December I was out on the liver transplant list. I got called in within less then a week after being put on the transplant list. 14th December 2021 to be more precise. But it never happened. And just felt the whole excise was a trial run. I been attending

parietal cell antibody lab results
I’m having trouble interpreting my lab results. My Parietal Cell Antibody IgG value is 33.2 units and it said the standard range is 0.0-24.9 units. So it’s above the standard range but not by much. Apparently above 25 units is positive so that means I’m positive? I just want to confirm.

Covid Tests for Vulnerable People
Dear All, I am repeating on this Forum, a 'Post' I put on the Kidney Transplant forum, regarding Covid Test Availability. Essentially these Test ARE 'Still Available' to Vulnerable People. Solid Organ Transplant recipients, like myself, automatically 'qualify'- as might many 'others' on here. You can

Covid Self Tests, For Vulnerable Folk.
Dear all, The 'Availability' of Free Covid Tests is now 'Limited To Certain Groups', however Sold Organ Transplant Patients ARE Included. If you do want to 'Order' some, then go to 'gov.uk', rather than 119- or the Normal Covid Site. I found this out after 'Chasing My Tail', for about forty minutes.

Haemochromatosis and my liver
Male, now 50. My story starts five years ago when I was renovating my house and tripped down a broken staircase and knocked myself unconscious. I went to A&E and after getting a head scan my GP had me get some blood tests for any nasty tell tale signs to do with concussion and bleed on the brain. Thankfully

A brief update post Venetoclax+Rituximab - treatment number 4
My final option was Venetoclax + Rituximab which is standard treatment for relapsed CLL in the UK and consolidation with a bone marrow/
stem
cell
transplant
was discussed, depending on how my CLL responded. I recently had my 6 month assessment of MRD and the results are now in.

Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
While strictly not a PMR issue I know there are a few whose cholesterol has risen markedly since being diagnosed. I am one of them. I have always had high-ish cholesterol but my last fasting blood test showed everything else perfectly normal but my cholesterol was up. I haven't seen the results
