Thanks so much for your replies! Just called them, and unfortunately they shut at 5 (doh!) but will ring first thing on Monday morning. Will let you know how I get on! Have a lovely weekend!

Hi guys - long time no see, I hope you are all doing ok. I am about to embark on some sailing training next week. I am part of the Clipper 11-12 World Race and am racing on a yacht of transplantees and doctors to raise awareness of organ donation around the world. Very exciting but nerve-wracking to...

Rik thank you so much for your (not you're, haha) lovely comment I'm so glad you like my photography! It makes it all the more worthwhile when I get such fab feedback! Xx

I googled what you had and it made me feel a bit pathetic as my symptoms are not nearly as bad or serious as the ones listed so I'm pretty sure I don't have anything like that. I could be just suffering from a bit of post t...

Since my transplant I have felt great though there is one thing that has been bugging me a bit which is my tummy. I have never had any problems before with my tummy, bowels etc but since the tx my tummy has been mega sensitive. I can go from being quite constipated to having diarrhea randomly over a...

I dialysed at the same place you did in Tenerife and it was fab. They were lovely and no probs at all.

I came back feeling a million times better - more relaxed, more healthy, and defi...

woohoo! go tom!

YAY! So happy for you Tom, can't wait to have you back on the board telling us all about it x
