I am looking for any real world feedback on donating organs? 

It's an odd story (mine seem to always be!) and I don't want bore ya'all with the details. 

Basically I started working in a new job and on my team is a pretty cool young lady. I found out she goes to dialysis 4 times a week. She is on a nocturnal schedule so she can work during the day. She has been in complete kidney failure for almost 6 years. 

Not married. No children. She makes everyone she comes in contact with a better person. 

For some reason when met her I felt a strong pull to her. 

After getting to know each other I asked her if she was on a transplant list. She said she was but so far nothing was happening. 

I asked her if she would accept one of mine if we matched. She said she usually tells everyone that asks that she isn't a candidate for transplant. It's not true. She said she couldn't live a good life if she got a living donor and then something happened to the doner she wouldn't be able to live a great life knowing the donor suffered because of her! 

OK so...I need to get tested/matched first, right? Do I just call her nephrologist to see a match test could be done? Will he/she need the recipient to start the process? 

Anyone know? Anyone been an organ donor? 

Feedback please! 

 
I hope someone has some knowledge on this subject for you. There must be an organ donor forum that you could join, or just the specific steps that need to be taken on some websites.  I'm sure we could help in finding them.

What a generous and selfless thing to want to do. She sounds like the same kind of person, no wonder that you were drawn to her.

 
Oh 2E you are much too kind! I have always been driven to try and make a difference--I feel like there isn't much I can give back to the world--I am not a healer, a mender, a scientist, a philanthropist, a teacher etc. I try to buy favor with my universe any time I can! 

I have been a 3 time surrogate, a bone marrow donor and of course a blood donor. I only say this so you know I have some experience with "donating". It has become a joke that I share with Sara--I say " Shoot, I gave three couples a baby! I can give you a kidney!"'

That's great advice about looking at other forums. 

Its really stupid that I detest going to the doctor for myself--I go once a year whether I need to or not! However if its for a greater good then I can go without any thought. Probably a huge psychological statement in that behavior! But shit, I am too old to change! 

Again I appreciate any feedback or experience!

  6. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: Set a reasonable limit. Hell fucking make it like buying cold medicine where they swipe your id and you can't get a bunch. But we know this isn't about logic or public safety. It's about money and control.
  7. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: AKA are such a bunch of fucking capitalist traitors. The liquor lobby has a lot of money in this as well.
  8. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: The major plain leaf companies and the AKA are the ones lobbying against 7 and the other semi-sythetic derivatives, mgm this that and the other. We all know the chemist are just gonna mess with the scaffolding of the compounds and come out with new and even better semi-sythetic alkoloids of kratom. They are already playing with cats-claw
  9. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @moai just asked chatgpeetea and it looks like plain leaf kratom is safe, they arent banning it. Just 7-Hydroxymitragynine, MGM15 ,16 , and pseudoindoxyl
  10. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: Wait... @moai they are federally banning plain leaf kratom too???
  11. moai @ moai: @MorphineOrfan how fucking stupid is this shit. We better see some new shit come out, I’m most upset about banning regular kratom because really? Millions of people have got off hard opioids with it. They must want everyone on methadone instead.

  14. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: If bans were done to logic so much of what is illegal now would end up prescription only and I think the powers that be react faster than they think... if they think at all
  15. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: They aren't specifically targeting SR and 7oh
  16. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @RiftChems well sr-17018 is an orphine analogue after all, and they are banning all orphines so that makes sense. Orphines are spiking the OD death rates majorly these past few months.
  17. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: CANDYMAN ramnemnber thta is will be conme relevenaent soon :alien: :cool: :cool: :cool: 🤑
  18. RiftChems @ RiftChems: crazy they are banning SR17018 at the same time. they know what theyre doing.
  19. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: The ban of 7oh is gonna have a lot of people needing help soon. Assuming they do ban instead of regulate like they should
  20. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: shout out to all our vets and citizens this is our day of pride love all of ya 🌭
