- Hi. Does anybody else have the experience of an adult child who won’t discuss kidney failure decisions? As soon as I begin to discuss anything having to do with a transplant, my son (31) averts his eyes & doesn’t want to discuss it. I try to...
- I'm currently at about 38 gfr. I was in the hospital in Dec. with chest pain, but my heart tested fine. Then a couple of weeks ago, I was in bed with excruciating flank pain, on Percocet for 5 days of 24/7 pain. My nephrologist wasn't available...
- Hi. I'm in my 50's. Have been on Tramadol for pain. Since Friday, intense pain has become worse. I skyped with a doctor online, who said it was ok for me to go back to Percocet, which worked better, but now only lasts for 3 hours. I want to get the...
- Due to several problems with my GI tract, this week I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy and x-rays with barium and other tests, which will probably confirm Crohn's disease, which was diagnosed a few years ago with a CT scan. I don't have the results...
- Hi, everybody. It's been a while since I've been here, dealing with an incredibly complicated divorce for five years. I've lost over 20 points in the last six months and am currently at about 30, having symptoms that go along with that. Lately,...
- I've had frequent bouts of dizziness/lightheadedness, nausea, vision disturbances, painful leg cramps, etc., and my RBC count has been low for a long time. I called my new nephrologist to ask for an order for labs to see if my RBC and hemoglobin...
- I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a new book out about donating to a family member with PKD. It is called "The Reluctant Donor" by Suzanne...
- On "House" tonight, Chase mentioned the possibility of PKD again, at 45 minutest into the show, in trying to diagnose a teenager.
- My labs almost always come back showing low sodium, sometimes way below normal. I know most people with PKD have the opposite problem, with sodium being too high and having to restrict it from the diet. I thought my problem was just some anomaly,...
- Has anybody else heard anything about this?------------------------------------ New Polycystic Kidney Disease inhibitor on: October 27, 2009, 10:10:59 AM PDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------October...
- I had an episode for about two weeks of extreme hip joint pain, to the point where I had planned to get a cane at the store the next day because I could barely walk, but then it went away. I'm not sure if this was a flare-up of the MS, or if this...
- Last night was the second time that I've heard "polycystic kidney disease" mentioned on the TV show "House", as they were discussing possible ailments that the patient in question might have. They said something about aneurysms secondary to...
- I just returned from a Halt study visit. While there, I was talking to the coordinator and she said that transplanted kidneys can become cystic. This is the first time I've EVER heard this, and I've read quite a lot about PKD. Has anyone else...
- In addition to MS, I also have PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) with liver involvement and I know I posted this question on that support group site. I don't think I did on this site, but if I did, please forgive me for asking twice--I had an...
- I had to visit my internist today, and she offered me the "regular" flu shot, since the H1N1 shots aren't available yet. I was going to get it, and asked her about the new H1N1 flu shot, if it was live or not. She said, yes, they're both...
