An Edinburgh man with kidney failure received a transplant from his mother shortly before she passed away and says that it has 'transformed his life'.
Neil Scully, 43, started experiencing symptoms such as fatigue and loss of appetite at the start of 2018 but put it down to the arthritis he has lived with his whole adult life. Instead, Neil was developing chronic kidney failure that ultimately led to months of gruesome and tiring dialysis that changed the way he was able to live his life.
Working for life insurance company Aegon, Neil said his average day was consumed by his job during the day and dialysis at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh in the evening, sometimes not getting home until midnight. As well as suffering from fatigue, Neil had to control his diet to drink just 600 millilitres of water a day and struggled with everyday tasks.
