Hi Kaz,
Just one more thought, I should have included it in my last effort.
Before going to appointments, make a list of any questions you have, we all tend to forget some until afterwards...

Re: Possible forum downtime
Sorry I missed your reply Skm. I have been having a bumpy ride for a while but I am 84 now so I suppose it is to be expected, I have been dialysing about 14 years now. Just recently the forum was not wanting me around when I could, anyway the administrator has fixed that now (Thank you administrator...

Re: End of the analogue landline
The changes are for land lines, I think this will explain it all.

Re: Possible forum downtime
Keep up the good work.
Why do I think of Monty Python when anyone mentions Spam?
Actually, I used to like Spam, goes well in sandwiches, fried or fried in batter, boiled Spam was not a success, Spam (chopped) stew works but cook the vegetables first adding the Spam late on.
Have I left any out?

Re: Much to think about
Wow, if they are asking they must think it a viable option but that is a lot to think about.
Best wishes which ever way you go.

Re: Covid continues to loiter
Hi All, I have had my jabs Monday this week, I live in a care home so it took a lot of reminding them the whole of the residents are vulnerable!

Re: Claiming benefits
Just finished claim for Attendance Allowance, I think the form is around 35 pages! I gathered, from another patient they were getting this benefit, we will have to see how it pans out. Dialysis is one of the examples on the form but I have other problems as well. The form is available at https://www...

Re: Why do long term grafts fail?
Hi Thumps, I must admit I don't know of a single answer to this, I wondered if Ai Chat could produce an answer that covered all bases, this is what it produced. "There are several reasons why long term kidney grafts eventually fail: 1. Chronic rejection: Despite being matched for a successful t...

Re: Rubbish veins
I know this an old tread but I found this https://hellovein.com/how-does-a-vein-finder-work/ the kit can be found on Amazon. The other thought on this is Ultrasound scanners - most dialysis units have them or have access to one. The unit I started dialysis at, about 12 years ago, had one bought by t...

Hi Oldboy, Wow 3 blood transfusions! The more usual way, is transfusions and injections of EPO( EPO gives the bone marrow a kick up the backside telling it to produce more red cells) See https://www.southtees.nhs.uk/services/pathology/tests/erythropoietin-epo/ In my experience, transfusions are used...

Re: anybody young people with ckd? reassurance?
Hi, It would appear your high BP is the major problem, are you doing all you can to improve this? Get salt /sodium down low - basically no extra salt on food, look out for pre prepared food as most have high salt content. Breakfast cereals have salt in, the only ones I have found without salt are Oa...

Re: Lymphodema anyone?
Hi WightPolly,
This forum is about kidneys, I don't recall anyone posting with lymphatic problems.
Have you tried searching the internet for Lymphodema forums?
Best wishes.
