Just curious....who else here is on HOME hemodialysis?
I would love to hear about your experience and how it's going.... Do you have a in home care giver or are you solo? How long did it take to get comfortable with the process or do you ever get comfortable with it?

The Truth about Home Hemodialysis
It has been the hardest month I have ever had in my life. I promised I would write an honest and complete description of the process. I started on October 16th. The first week, I wrote about already. Not too many issues. But in my head, I was so overwhelmed. I was not ready for dialysis mentally in

And so it begins......home dialysis
I will be doing
home
hemodialysis
. I am already did the initial interviews; they have done the home eval and approved me. We were just waiting for the start date. I have a ton of questions..... Why are you on home dialysis? How often and how much do you do HD? Was it hard to learn?

The dialysis journey continues at home
Here is my latest on my journey in
home
hemodialysis
. I started this process on October 16th. And we came
home
on December 18th. Many people get home faster but I had issues with a couple of weeks of when they infiltrated my fistula (poked through it and I was bleeding internally).

Giving up
I've been doing haemodialysis for a little over 3 years. And I have been like clock work never missing a session. But lately I'm wanting to give up. I'm struggling with my dry weight and I was wondering if anyone has felt like this or is going through this. Quita55

Polycystic Organs and the Medical Maze
Here is our story so far - any thoughts and guidance much appreciated: My wife has been battling polycystic kidney disease for years, and we now suspect she has polycystic liver disease too. But getting a diagnosis and treatment for her enlarged liver has been an uphill struggle that's left us feeling

First dialysis.... not for a wuss
I am going to do
home
hemodialysis
or HHD. I knew it was going to be tough, but had no idea. I was freaking out so much. They took my blood pressure, and it was astronomical. The center I am going to is small and the training is done in a private room with an assigned nurse.

What it is like to get an AV fistula, My journey
As RonZone did with PD, I am talking about
home
hemodialysis
, HHD. My lab numbers are at the point to "get-er done." The first step: I was scheduled for an AV fistula; first-stage left brachiobasilic fistula creation in the left arm.

Question about dialysis
I’d like to know why you chose the type of dialysis that you did,
Hemodialysis
(
Home
or clinic) or peritoneal? Any insights would be appreciated.

Switching to home hemodialysis
I have been on peritoneal dialysis using a cycler, which has been wonderful, for two years. Unfortunately my clearance has been falling over the last four months and treatment increase in the amount of dextrose has caused me to gain nearly 30 lb. My clinic has me scheduled to begin training for home

Removal of Haemodialysis Fistula
Hi, Is there anyone who has had a haemodialysis fistula removed after a successful transplant. My consultant recommended it today under a general anesthetic as it's a bit fast, a bit strong and my skin is a bit too thin in places. I'm definately having it done, no qualms about that but I'd appreciate

TROUBLE SLEEPING
I was diagnosed with PMR in July 2024 and am taking 12.5 mg prednisone as well as Kevzara. I have always been a poor sleeper but the steroids have made it even harder. The typical solutions such as Unisom, Tylenol PM, Melatonin etc just amp me up more. I occasionally take an Ambien just to sleep a

Arrhythmias: Understanding your condition
Arrhythmias are heart rhythm disorders of your heart’s electrical system, whereby there is a change in the regular beat of your heart, causing it to beat irregularly. Sometimes if the conduction pathway is damaged or becomes blocked, or if an extra pathway exists, the heart’s rhythm changes. For more
