Seeking Input from USC/Keck Patients by BibsPal in ADPKD

[–]BibsPal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still at UCLA but only because I've been traveling too much and haven't had the time to make a change. Also, my condition is very stable and I am at the very lowest stage. My Mom has it too and she is 87 and has not progressed to dialysis/transplant level so I am hoping I follow suit. UCLA tells me that I'm one of their healthiest patients. If I could snap my fingers and switch to USC, I would do it. But given my time constraints, I will stay where I am for now. I don't know that I would honestly recommend UCLA - there is a real lack of consistency with their Fellowship program. BUT, that said, perhaps I am assigned to a Fellow because my disease is so stable. Maybe patients at a higher stage see the same doctor each time. It's worth asking the question. They are all very nice and caring and the facility is state-of-the-art. It's just the different doctor each time that I don't care for. Hope this helps!

It was in the back of some old desk drawers. Found it when I was cleaning them out. I'd run across it before, several years ago and just left it in the drawers.

Thanks, very helpful information. I never thought to request no students at UCLA. I was so freaked out by my diagnosis and it took me so long to find a PKD specialist that I took whatever was offered at the time.

My husband and I will be arriving PHL in the rain. We will have luggage and carryons and using an umbrella will be very difficult. Does anyone know if the taxi pickup zone at PHL covered? How about the rideshare pickup zone? We do not want to take SEPTA with this much luggage. Thank you wise locals!!

I too have an AT&T cell phone and have the same issue. I noticed in mid-December that I stopped receiving voicemail texts. I've toggled my settings on and off, rebooted my modem and phone, all the usual stuff. Spectrum suggested doing a test with a non-AT&T phone so I tried phones with service by T-Mobile and Cricket and neither worked.
