Welcome to the community. There are many folks here who will be happy to share knowledge and stories with you

There are a number of members here who are on dialysis and others, like me, who are trying to slow the progression of CKD and stay off dialysis for as long as possible. If you should have any questions, ask away.

Hello there, Mrsflowers88! Welcome to the forum! You’ve certainly come to the right place for sound advice and support throughout this difficult journey. I am nearing stage 5, if not probably in stage 5 myself, and still pushing on. But I also understand how you feel regarding your concerns and frustrations with your mother’s health. I, too, had a mother who suffered with serious health issues.

As the others have said, we’re always here for you. Don’t ever feel as though you’re alone. You will find, as I certainly have, that the people here are very knowledgeable, kind and offer very sound advice. You will also learn a lot here. We don’t diagnose but we can offer suggestions and support anytime.

I will keep your mother in my thoughts and prayers, dear. Once again, a warm welcome to our forum! God bless. 🙏😊👍
