Kidney Patient Guide

The hospitals should be tell us not to then?!?! I got given a weekly dosette box in 2012 just after my transplant and used it fairly religiously until a few months ago when I changed jobs.

Tibbs I'm glad to hear you're not too bad despite the raise in creat

bit gutted after all! went for my wound check up on Friday thinking that all was good to find there is a 3x1cm collection sitting just over the artery. dr's not keen to drain it as it a mix of fluids and I have to go back in 2 weeks.

its actually more uncomfortable than the actual fistula pre surgery

thanks, I spoke to a renal doc at work, he said that it was fine.......it subsided over the next 24 hours

hi all!! long time since I've been on here. So I'm now 3 years post transplant with a comfortable creat of 150-160 depending on day and fluid balance. I lost 6.5 stones since transplant and have just had my AV fistula ligated as it had become quite large at my elbow crease and was getting caught on ...

so pleased you had a good walk tibbs, maybe you can join me on a 25k one soon

unfortunately we were due in cornwall on the 12th but next year im hoping to trot round again

It was probably one of the best experiences I have had during my renal experience xxx

I'm probably free the first week of July but on holiday 12th for a week. Should be enough time to organise something

So final update. medics pulled me out at 56km as I have massively inflamed ligaments that I physically couldn't walk.

The link to my KPA website profiling the walk this weekend

It's hard to explain but I am going to try and take a picture so you guys can see what I mean. It's very difficult to explain

thanks Mandy, I have 2 pairs of karrimor anti blister socks to wear and a pair of padded ones from Tesco's. I think ill carry more than need but better to be prepared

This is it!!!, less than 5 days to go before my mammoth walk and I'm £9.50 away from raising £500. I cant believe how psyched for this I am

I've kinda decided to loose the weight I want to loose then push if its still really noticeable. the surgeon no longer works at the hospital and through the grapevine I've heard that i'm not the only person with an issue with his specific technique. it I quite noticeable to me and one of my doctor f...
