I am 61 yrs. Old, received my left lung transplant 2004. Now I am having some problems and need to?

Thank you so much for telling me this, I had forgotten to add that I am border line diabetic also. I certainly hope that you don't have to have another transplant! My worries are just beginning again I guess. My local Dr. wanted to send me straight to a nephrologist, but my transplant team want me to hold out for more tests. God Bless you.

I would suggest that you do go to a nephrologist soon though too and have him or her work with your transplant team to determine the definite cause of your decline in kidney function. I'm surprised your transplant team wanted you to wait on that. The nephrologist may be able to figure something out faster as it may not be related to your transplant meds but something else altogether and the sooner you find out, the sooner you can begin to work on correcting the problem. Good luck - I know this stuff is stressful and a rollercoaster but try to stay positive and faithful and you'll get to the other side of this issue too. A positive attitude can make a huge difference in our health and outlook. And with all we've gone through already to get us to this point, we can handle anything! :)
