Is it normal???? 🤔
OK so I'm coming up to my 2 year lungaversary! I had a single lung transplant and my other lung completely removed. I am suffering extreme pain in both sides today to the point it has brought tears to my eyes. I want to know if this sort of pain is normal so long after a transplant?

Lung Transplant outcomes differences between Transplant Centers
Hello I would like to ask if when being referred for transplant did the respiratory consultant offer a choice in the transplant center. The reason I ask is there appear to be large differences in transplant outcomes particularly 5 and 10 year survival rates between centers. I was researching on the NHS

Pain, pain go away!
I'm in pain already from going to "school" i called the clinic where I go to for my treatment. I go to dialysis 3 times a week for 3-4 hours or so. Then I had a pneumonia shot making it even worse. I'm in so much pain both arms. Sometimes I'm thinking how long I could still hold on this challenging trials

I'm getting there!
The district nurse called today to change my dressings .I'm just over 2 months post liver transplant now and my op wounds have been stubborn to heal. There has only been a tiny amount of bleeding under the dressings this time so I'm nearly there. I'm hoping that when she comes again on Friday that I

This is a repost from an anonymous patient on another liver ailment forum. Never heard of getting my MELD score.
Hi all, read the post below from an anonymous patient on another forum. I've never heard of a MELD score. Anyone else had one done? Should I be asking my GI about this?? Thanks, Stella (Fatty liver is a normal part of aging. High triglycerides, alcohol use, medications - all of this adds up over time

Liver disease
Fatty liver is a normal part of aging. High triglycerides, alcohol use, medications - all of this adds up over time to affect the liver. After a trip to ER and admitted for pancreatitis, I learned about my liver. Ignorance and "normal lab results" combined to leave me shocked to find stage 4 liver fibrosis

Itching after transplant
My husband had a kidney transplant in June. He struggles with itching. Any ideas for how to get relief, it keeps him up at night.

Fibroscan
Once you had your fibroscan, how long did it take to get the ball rolling after that? I guess it depends on the result but say for example if it was a very high score, would you then be put in for liver transplant assessment?

Flu vaccine shortage
I was booked to have my flu jab at my GP this week but the appointment was cancelled due to shortage of vaccine. Despite being 'vulnerable' as I have Lupus and renal transplant this made no difference. The appointment has been re-booked towards the end of November, but there's no guarantee. I have

Excited to have found support!
Hello...I am the mom of a 30 yr. old son in need of a kidney transplant. It is so hard to see him go thru dialysis among everything else he has had to go thru. He is strong and handling it better than I am. I know it's not about me, but would love to hear from other parents who have children or young
