Title: Afraid to be denied after being listed
Post by: gothiclovemonkey on July 26, 2012, 01:18:55 AM
How easily do they change their minds? ive gained some weight, but im losing again, so hopefuly THAT wont be an issue BUT
Ive been having really weird symptoms, and im a little afraid to mention them to anyone because i fear if it is something they would deny me a kidney transplant.

Hello,
I know each person is different & maybe even your doctors might do things a little different, but I have always let my doctors know what was going on if I had any pains, aches or whatever it may be.
I would hate for it to effect a kidney if they went to transplant me, especially after all that time & work that goes into a transplant.....

example: The last few months I had been having really bad stomach issues to where I was in the ER several times feeling like I was going to die. Here I had ulcers so I was very glad I went to the doctor before things got worse.
Unless it has been something life threatening they have always kept me on the transplant list! Even when I was pregnant I was still accumulating time, I was just on hold till my son was born.

Good Luck  :cuddle;
Hopefully your pains are nothing serious
