Switching to home hemodialysis
I have been on peritoneal dialysis using a cycler, which has been wonderful, for two years. Unfortunately my clearance has been falling over the last four months and treatment increase in the amount of dextrose has caused me to gain nearly 30 lb. My clinic has me scheduled to begin training for home

My reaction to Crestor & Nubeqa combo. I need to make some adjustments. This study says simvastatin is best against APC. Your thoughts?
Based on these studies, do you think it's best to use simvastatin as your choice of statins? I'm using Crestor 5 mg plus 5mg Zetia and my ldl has gone down to a level, which puts me at risk of infection. Plus, my brain isnt functioning nearly as well as it used to. My current ldl is 27. This probably

possible to improve C Telopeptide Serum blood test for risk of osteonecrosis?
Hi, about 5 months ago I took myself off the Xgeva bone drug after being on it about 2 years or so. This was after learning I couldn’t be on it and also have the dental work done that I need to have done (cavitations etc). My personal feeling after doing research over the years is that I’m not able

Elevated creatinine from tacrolimus?
I am 19 months out from my kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Was doing well and my creatinine was actually within the normal range at about a year post transplant. However, since then my creatinine has been creeping up and now is 1.74. Have tried lowering my protein intake, and more hydration

17 hour flight
I have been invited to a wedding in Louisiana later this year. My RLS is still problematic but manageable at home with Buprenorphine and Pregabalin and walking around / standing up. I am doubtful about the 17 hours flights. I can't ever remember going that long without several attacks of RLS. I've

cervical polyps/ecroption
Hello, has anyone had any experience with multiple cervical polyps or ecroption? I have an appointment with my GP and am very nervous. I had bleeding after intercourse once and then some blood tinged discharge the week before my period. Any insight is appreciated. Thank you.

Dry mouth!
I suffer from dry mouth and my dentist prescribed me some toothpaste and a mouth spray but the effect of the spray is not lasting. Can anyone suggest any supplements that might help at all? When my mouth is really dry is cracks at the sides which is quite painful too

THRUSH
I am an old man. For the last 2 years I have had thrush as diagnosed by my doc. I have tried Canesten and Lexerma they work temporarily but are otherwise useless, . A special (expensive) shower gel- is equally useless. It is no big deal and does not affect my life really but won't go away mildly painful

10 Year Anniversary
A few weeks ago I realized this is the ten-year anniversary of when I started dialysis. I started in August of 2013 in the days after I had a knee surgery. I was 14 years old. I'm now 24 years old. In the time since I started dialysis I started and finished high school, started and finished college,

Learning to live with PMR
My PMR started with strange stiffness, as if I'd been riding a horse, around the hips and buttocks in April/May 2022. I ignored it as far as possible, trying physio with no success. It was when I did the Dales Way in Yorkshire in June/July that I realised my fatigue, slowness and trouble getting over
