Dialysis @ 80 years old after kidney removal...
My 80 year old Dad has cancer in the tube between his kidney and bladder. It was discovered in December, but had likely been there for a little while. At the moment it's not spread and he's in decent shape. Remarkably a week last Friday he was given the opportunity of an operation for this coming Wednesday

Hypo with worsening cholesterol and kidney function
Hi, 1month on levo so far at 25mcg and think I will need an increase at my next NHS review. My cholesterol and kidney function results are heading in the wrong direction, despite doing exercise and eating healthier with plenty of water. Has anyone had success improving these while hypo and without statins

John Hopkins Medicine organ transplant/covid vaccine study results in mid March2021:few if any antibodies made
Curious if your transplant clinic or nephrologist contacted you about getting the covid vaccine. My spouse was told to get the Pfizer if he could get his hands on it where we live and he did and had both shots without problems. Mid March 2021 a study from John Hopkins medicine came out showing volunteers

SLE & 🦷
I am absolutely devastated this morning. My tooth crumbled when I was eating brown bread. I’ve had 2 dental abscesses in 4 months. I look after my teeth. I lost 2 teeth years ago (I didn’t know I had SLE) and was fobbed off by dentist as it must be my poor dental hygiene. Now I’m here again. I feel

Moderna Vaccine Side Effects
Has anyone had the Moderna vaccine and experienced a worsening of their edema or joint swelling? Mine is usually limited to my lower body and joints, but now even my face is retaining extra fluid. Sound familiar? I had all the other side effects. Not a fun ride, but sans tiredness and the headache

Anybody take Bactrim?
Hi, I was just put on Bactrim, which is an anti biotic, to go with my high dose of Prednisone. Rheumatologist says it is to keep from getting pneumonia.

Just to continue on the subject of Anxiety and Depression that I posted up earlier. I thought I’d add this snippet of news about a forthcoming online course from the people at “FutureLearn”. Like others on here, I too completed the two liver subject courses run on “FutureLearn” by the University of

Probably the greatest dilemma of my life.
Currently going through double lung transplant assessments due to IPF.One strict no go which strikes you off the list is cancer as , quite rightly, donated healthy lungs should go to those who have a longer chance of survival . Now the dilemma... discovered a great lump in my neck which may or may not

Introduction of myself, PMF, from China
Hi, I'm Qi, from China, I'm 34 years old this year. I confirmed PMF in 2017. At that time, the splenomegaly was high, but it was not very high, and it was not so high all the time. These symptoms began to happen to me one after another as early as 2013. JAK2V617F gene mutation, there is only one mutation

Very confused 🤷‍♀️
Hi, So not really endo related but I had a liver scan today and after the doctor had finished he said, that my liver was a little fatty and also he noticed something in my liver he was not sure if it was a cyst or something else. He then said he was not sure if he just wanted to do the scan again

Sleeping kidney after transplant
Hi, My partner has just had a
kidney
transplant
6 days ago. He is 31 years old. He had 9% function before he received the kidney and wasn’t on dialysis beforehand. He’s in hospital and due to Covid he’s alone and I can’t go. He’s not great at talking to Doctors and I’m not getting any information.

🤞🏻 Upcoming appointments
Well my son has his appointment for 1st COVID vaccination on the 12/5 but my hubby still to have his 2nd. I have high hopes for appointments next week 🤞🏻I really need this operation for a rectocele repair, it has become so really bad I’d class it as urgent. If the consultant isn’t operating yet there

Harefield Lung Transplant
Hi, I am on the lung transplant list at QE Hospital Birmingham, but surgery there is still suspended and will be until June at the earliest. I am therefore going to be seen at Harefield in the hope I can go on their list. I’ve been on Birmingham’s list since July, but with no transplants since January
