Hi Harry,

How's it going?

I've just replied to your other post, but....

Better in some ways, worse in others. Now I seem to have settled on the idea that it's the poisons remaining in my blood, making it's way to my brain, causing the episodes, I'm in much less of a panic, when I suffer the weird episodes. I am also getting used to them, and finding ways to take charge of them, ease myself out of them, so they tend to be shorter. What is worse, is how frequent the episodes occur, and I'm finding they are easy to trigger now, with the slightest amount of stress.

I saw my kidney consultant today, she seemed less than certain that the cause was due to my kidney failure. She did originally accept that the episodes were due to statins, based simply on my suggestion that was the cause - but I've not had any since September. She is now wanting my catheter installed, and on dialysis.
