Neck Cyst Removed

Earlier this spring, Darryl

had a cyst removed

on the left side of his neck.

It healed nicely.

Whoever was the surgeon did a nice job

removing the cyst and the stitching.

At Easter, it was unnoticeable.

Developed Gout from Anti-rejection Medication

Darryl's feet hurt badly. At times he could not walk, the pain was terrible. At times, too, the pain in his feet would keep him awake at night. He had his check up before Christmas 2012 at University of Michigan. While speaking with his nephrologist and telling him about his pain in his feet, the nephrologist told him it is one of the symptoms from one of his anti-rejection medications. Gout developed.

Darryl's wife Eileen did research to find a natural antidote instead of taking more medication to counter this condition. Pure cherry juice Eileen found to be helpful. Darryl started taking the juice. Yes, it has helped him a lot.

Don't forget to always check with your nephrologist and your transplant team.
