Re: Much to think about

Gosh that is a lot!! Deep breaths...

I'm currently working out whether I want to pursue a liver transplant (my PKD is also PLD, yay).

Wishing you all the best

Blood pressure drugs - what are you taking?

Hello! I've been fine on just Bisoprolol for the last 15(?) years but it's no longer enough (partly I suspect due to my polycystic liver now making its presence felt). I re-started Doxazosin a couple of weeks ago, as it was what I took before my Tx, but it's made me super drowsy and dizzy so I need ...

Why do long term grafts fail?

I know this isn't active much anymore but had a question which I wondered if anyone here had ever discussed with their nephrologists: When you have a long term graft, why does it fail? I'm coming up for 15 years post-tx, and painfully aware that when I had the op this was considered an optimum lifes...

Re: Claiming benefits

Hello I'm afraid I don't know a huge amount about the system as I'm still fortunate to have a working tx. However the National Kidney Federation has a helpline for such things, they may be better placed to help https://www.kidney.org.uk/help-with-financial-support The Citizens Advice Bureau also do ...

Most kidney units have a young persons' group, and I know the Kidney Charities do. I'm in. my 40s now but I vividly remember feeling as you...
