Had my third kidney transplant
Hello everyone:) Happy Holidays! 2 weeks ago I received the phone call that they had a kidney for me ..this was very unexpected because I had been told throughout the whole pre transplant process that I would have a living donor through the paired exchange program. My husband would donate to someone

Cold medicine
I’m a kidney transplant recipient. I received my kidney 16 months ago. What OTC meds can we take for a head cold?

Assistance with Potential misdiagnosis.
Hi All, I was unsure where to turn and you guys are my last hope! In July 2020 I was diagnosed with MS ( Multiple Sclerosis ) due to having some numbness and tingling in legs and foot and cognitive problems ( forgetful and thinking issues ) and extreme fatigue. I then had an MRI which revealed lesions

JCVI advice recommending a fourth Covid jab for LVV-GCA patients on Tocilizumab?
I have been on (self-injected) Ro Actemra (Tocilizumab) since July 2019 for LVV-GCA, and it enabled me to cease all other medications (mainly the dreadful Prednisolone) over the course of the first 9 months.( All of my blood results have been totally normal from 2 weeks after starting Tocilizumab and

Had cancer twice, had chemo plus

. I've been left with knee problems due to Lymphoma and have to use a stroller and wheelchair. The treatment I've had has led to a deep depression and anxiety as I no longer have my independence and had to leave my job.

I have had enough
This is Randy I had my Mohs procedure Thursday. 60 stitches in my temple, 30 stitches in my arm. Squamous carcinoma cancer from the Sun. Doctor told me cancer on my temple is very aggressive may come back. That really bothers me. I hope that no one has to go through this. So far this year I have had

The Melody Study
Dear All, have you been asked about The Melody Study, into COVID immunity? If not then Do ask- your Doctors/ Consultants or even your GP. I 'qualify' BOTH as a Vasculitis Patient and a 'Solid' Organ Recipient (I had a Kidney Transplant, in July 2013). The Test is, relatively 'easy' to do, a small Finger

Spirinolactone question
I am on the liver transplant waiting list (6m and counting.) Last year I was put on spirinolactone to deal with ascites, which it has done very efficiently, however, I have just had a call from the specialist's secretary asking me to stop taking it... I will keep an eye on my weight and any swelling

Drug induced cirrhosis
Hi. I’ve been reading posts for around 6 months now. Reason being for my mum who sadly passed away 5months ago due to cirrhosis. My query is has anyone ever suffered cirrhosis due to antibiotics. My mum was prescribed 6 courses of a drug named flucloxocillin which I now know is known worldwide to cause
