Transplant coordinator called me

[PrimeTimer]

Words escape me right now. I don't know if the right words exist for this. I know that if my husband wanted a transplant and was told no I'd be hugging him real tight and telling him how sorry I feel about it and that I'd be there for him in whatever way he needs me to be. Your friends here at ihd are here for you and the group never seems to run out of hugs. You're such a strong and very wise lady, kudos for showing the rest of us that however challenging and tough it can be, life is worth living (bumps and all), simply because as people, WE are worth it.

We're dealing with an inherently EVIL system that oftentimes SEEKS ways to DENY you rather than approve you! I was denied by THREE different centers eventhough I'm PERFECTLY healthy besides the kidney! I FINALLY found a SANE center that realized I was perfectly healthy and a prime candidate for Tx but my body had to suffer through almost half a DECADE on a machine before I FINALLY got my Tx!

Oh, low BP....  I have low BP too.  Who would have thought.  I use to take 3 pills for Hi blood Pressure? 

I'm so sorry Kit.

My hubbys BP would get so low after dialysis he had to have IV fluids put back in before he could go home. Then his Neph started him on Midodrine , he would take 1 pill half way through the dialysis and it was very helpful, works great ! It's a RX that raises BP !

I have tried Midodrine. All my bP does with midodrine is give me a huge headache and wave at it as it takes a dive.

Hi Kitkatz I'm just asking cos most times it worked for me. Cayenne pepper. Just a bit on everything you cook (so that it's only just spicy) In lots of articles it says it lowers BP, but it doesn't, it normalizes it (well, it did with me).
