Re: Coronavirus

Got both the Gov and LA letter a few days ago. I live in a high peak area but low case 'ward'. Still scary. It suggests registering again https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus-shielding-support To be honest the 'local help' phonically were OK, my partner who has MS got nothing, and the food parcels were en...

Re: Private messages.

You should be able select a message then you get the options with a dropdown menu

Click on 'Go' then it gives an option to delete the message.

I couldn't find a way to 'select' all.

If your not getting the dropdown menu try a different browser?

Re: Hemodialysis - overheating/outofbreath/sickness

Here we go again. Staff not fully informed/trained/or aware of dialysis side effects, can't or don't give an informed answer to patient, or give a 'fob off one'. There are many things that can give similar effects. Is the machine your on set to 'profiling' sometimes called 'sodium profiling' this is...

Hospital Transport - Suddenly efficient!

A small mixed blessing reported from a friend on heamo in the unit. Now that clinics are cancelled she says she's never been in and out of the unit for dialysis so quickly!

Re: Chester, Liverpool or Manchester Meet Up

Not local, sadly rather down the road. But I'm sure if you post in the KPA forums and arrange your own meetup you might get more interest.

Good luck..

Wasted Medications - Needs to change!

Re: Kidney Patient Guide website survey

Defiantly keep the 'basics' of the first website, even if updated (some support charities have changed name etc). The number of times I've shared the animations to friends, staff, etc I've lost count of. So please please find a way to keep them. We dream for the end of Flash, but while it lasts:) Ev...
