Hi @slslape56 I too welcome you to Connect. I am 3 years post-transplant (September 2016). Things have been great for me ever since also.
Age does definitely bring on many medical problems. I am now 72 and it seems as if multiple things are popping up. I agree, it's essential to have good doctors. I had my transplant at Mass General in Boston and I rely on them for virtually everything except my PCP due to distance -- I am about 55 miles from Boston and during the day it can take two hours to get there. I have lab work done every other month and when my creatinine was high my transplant doctor changed my immunosuppressant and told me to drink a lot of water, or other fluid -- 60 - 80 ounces a day. Originally they said 80 - 100 ounces but it's been so stable now for so long that I can cut back a bit. To what is the doctor attributing your decline in kidney function?
