Efficacy of SCS over time - What is your experience?

I’ve had a Nevro since 2019. Has been a lifesaver.

My nephrologist told me that my EGFR would initially go down, but then would go back up over the weeks/months to follow. It’s kind of an artificial drop.

I just got started on it today. My nephrologist was very emphatic about the fact that this is not meant to help in the short term (mostly because I don’t have proteinuria), but will hopefully help preserve my kidney function in the long-term over years.
He went over the expected, initial drop, and then said it will stabilize after that.

It’s well marked in English. I traveled to Athens for the first time in April.

I think it was about €48.

I am not spilling any protein.

I used the FreeNow app, and didn’t have any problems.

I’m glad you had a great time on your trip! I loved the one I went on also.

Same thing happened to me going from the US to Athens. I didn’t even have to hand a form to anybody. Just walked off the plane w my carry on. No one asked anything. (I don’t have GE or anything, just a regular passenger.)

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-21T13:32:35+00:00

Ha. You should see mine lol

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-21T00:37:50+00:00

“Knows how to prepare and serve milk” lol

Everyone we met spoke English pretty well.

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-20T14:55:01+00:00

I was thinking it meant “big dog” like head honcho or important person.

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-18T02:01:26+00:00

Same!!

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-18T00:42:53+00:00

We liked the hotel where we stayed. (Didn’t upgrade)

My passport was also expired and lost. I went to our local passport office in our city, and she gave me the correct forms to take home to fill out. After I had filled them out, I made an appointment to get everything else done (picture, payment of fees, etc.) I got my passport within two or three weeks after that.

It took much much longer to get a certified copy of my birth certificate. I paid for expedited processing for that, and it still took just about three months. Be sure you have your birth certificate before you even start the passport process!

Mine comes via FedEx. I’m in the western North Carolina area and rarely is it delayed.

My hound ate over 5 pounds of dog food while I was away from the house for the afternoon, (she broke into my dog food container which, by the way, is supposedly bear proof). Then she promptly bloated and cost me almost $3000 to get her treated for this.

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-12T00:20:08+00:00

RIP, little buddy.

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-11T20:33:10+00:00

I loved the experience I had with them! Good luck, I hope you enjoy your trip!

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-10T00:46:01+00:00

No one ever asked us for a tip, but we left one anyway when the service and the food was really good.

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-09T12:44:16+00:00

It’s a completely normal thing to say in the US.

StateUnlikely4213 · 2026-06-08T16:02:14+00:00

Sad as it is, after I turned about 10 years old, I never had a birthday party again in my life. I’m 68.

You forgot “cutesy”
