The tradition Continues
We seem to be having a rash of bad news lately, I hope this changes that. As my self proclaimed tradition dictates, today I'm celebration 39 years with the same transplant. Though I've lost some function over the years (my kidney is 83 years old) I'm still doing well and am very stable. I have no il...

Re: Pam...
So sorry to hear that. Pam and I had very similar backgrounds. We were about the same age and had our transplants about the same time. Was very sorry to hear she lost hers. She seemd to be doing well afterward though. Thank God I'm still very fortunate. Will be celebrating 39 years this Thursday. Bill

Re: hip joint pain cause?
I too have bursitis in my right hip. If it turn out that is what you have, I found what helps (helps not eliminates) is not to sleep on that side. The pressure while sleeping just makes it worse.

Re: time until able to drive post transplant
I had to wait 4 years before I could drive after my transplant! ......But then again I was only 13 years old when I was transplanted.

Re: Allopurinol
Post transplant for a long time. All the gout medication I've tried all made me anemic. I too have bursitis in the right hip. Would love to know how to get rid of that. For gout I've given up red meat altogether and if I fell an attack coming on I just up my prednisone from 5 mg to 20. Take 20 for t...

Re: ID medical tags
I have MedicAlert. I think anyone with a chronic disease should have a databased medical alert identification.

Re: Wanted - a moisturiser that works
Aileen;
Being one who has been immune suppressed pretty much all my life, dry skin is common. I've seen a number of dermatologists over the years. The link below I think is a good summary of what to do.

Re: Keeping with tradition
@ Rik - I can't believe that I've been on this board for 8 years reading you posts which usually results in rolling my eyes while thinking "I can't believe he wrote that!" @ Amanda - no, I know a number of people who have had transplants longer than I. The longest one I've personally met w...

Re: 23 year anniversary
20+ years is a very good sign for a long term keeper. Congratulations. I'm not sure if I have the record here but I'll be 38 years next month. BTW I know a number of people who have had transplants longer than I.
