Further small improvements to report today. Firstly I have been cutting back on the panadol, as the pain is reducing noticeably. The blood tests are showing an Albunum of 38, which is great. There are trace amounts of protine in my urine, but my native kidneys are still functioning a little, so it is coming from them ( poor scared things). I saw the Haematology expert today and he has ordered a large number of tests to determine if my risk of stroke has gone due to the normal kidney function. If so I will be taken off the anti coagulants. The renal doctors have reduced my dose of Prednisolone, a steroid used to help with immune suppression. So everything is heading in the right dirrection. Yippy.
