The best way to know how you're doing is by getting labs done. Symptoms can be pretty mild until the end, but there's much that can be done to slow or stop rejection. Have you seen a nephrologist lately?
This forum is mostly living donors. If you want to share with other patients who may provide you with some help and support, you may want to post on the forum at www.ihatedialysis.com - good luck!
