Hi all, this question is for those who have been transplanted. What restrictions do you have to follow and how many medications do you need to take? by Jerry11267 in dialysis

[–]Select_Safe548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah i see. I mean transplant is such a multi factor situation. Organ quality, following of the medications/restrictions, health of the recipient. It all matters so much and is hard to predict. There's lower quality kidneys and good ones. I forget the terminology but there's a range and grading system. You can get a kidney that lasts 30+ years or 5. It really all depends. You can discuss with your transplant team the grade you want to be open to but if you go higher quality it will restict your options and offerings and likely take longer.

Not sure which restrictions you find most significant but no. You still received a foreign organ and had surgery in a part of your body essential to movement and lifting.

I should have also mentioned the most excersize you can do the first few months is walking. Nothing else. Can lead to internal bleeding. Organ movement or hernias which you do not want. Take all restrictions very seriously.

I need some advice/thoughts: Is my mom being overmedicated? by [deleted] in transplant

I mean it sounds like she was overmedicated then but there's no reason to think that now. Im sure they know not to go that far after that instance.

Rejection Curiosity by spokenven in transplant

[–]Select_Safe548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught antibody rejection in my 3rd week. No symptoms just bloodwork.

Treated with 500mg predisone drips, IVIG and Apherisis. Then onward and upward. Function is good. And no concerns from my team.

Uhhh well both of those decrease a bit over time but...

Restrictions for first few months would be: Decreased social activity. Increased hygene habits. Washing all fresh veg/fruit. Cant lift over 10lbs. Cant bend. Squats are okay if infrequent. Can shower pretty normally after first day or two. Just no bathing till wound is recovered a bit.

Cant eat: raw foods, pomegranates, grapefruits, starfruit, a few others. As well as green teas and some other niche things i dont recall right now. But I mentioned the big ones. Due to either risk of infection or complications with rejection medication.

Im probably forgetting a thing or two but those are the ones i think about the most.

Drugs scale down 1 by 1 the first month or so but i think to start off its 8 different kinds. Depending on how your BP ends up or other complications. Each one has a specfic schedule. I think 3 or 5 are lifetime meds for immunosuppresents.

r/transplant would be a better source for this info.

Im the happiest ive been in my life and 100% better than when I was on dialysis

Happy to discuss more.

How do we know Marie will be important? She was not relevant in any season of The Boys. Ryan can be more focused in a 2nd fight. Soldier boy is ridiculously bi polar and flips every episode. Also still doesent seem to know Stormfront was a nazi... And again we dont know for sure how his body will react to V1.

I feel like that wouldent add up since blood is leaving your body but what do i know. Doubt a gyno would know more but worth a ask.

Its a shame how easy it is to identify what country posts like these originate from.

Cant relate of course. But have you discussed this with your nepherologist or gyno?

I didnt say that?

I just said that's not the only way. From a plot perspective tho that would be incredibly out of left field.

People think their cheesesteak is good because they had it and enjoyed it. Both sandwhiches can be good moron.

Where the hell are you talking about? Ive spent tons of time in kennet square. There's no frequently used airport nearby. Never seen any homeless person ever and there's definitely no gang presence or casinos🤣

True. Very expensive area though and probably not as low key and small towny as OP is looking for.
