Barely making it to the toilet....

[SadMad]

I am stage 5 waiting to start dialysis. I noticed today that I was peeing more and barely making it to the toilet. I have also had a lot of cramps in my toes. I am not dehydrated but my feet and toes are acting like it. Has anyone else experienced this in late stage?

HI Vriggin,

Has anyone checked your potassium levels?

[SadMad]

Yes potassium was low so am now taking every other day.

[HealthBuddyMelissa in reply to SadMad]

Did that resolve the problem? What about Uric Acid levels?

[SadMad in reply to SadMad]

I think that taking my potassium and phosphorus and magnesium has finally gotten into my system and today I feel good and normal as good and normal as I can be anyway. Thank you all.

It seems that you have most of everything under control. By the time I get both feet on the floor of a morning, I have to pee. Also several times through the night. My urinal is one step from my bed. Why hurt trying to "hold it" ?

Thanks now I have a dreaded head cold and have to be careful when I sneeze......if you know what I mean.
