My Mayo Clinic journey and dialysis

[Fsgs57]

I'm going through my tests with Mayo Clinic in Arizona. I will tell you that they treat you like person. I'm impressed with size of the campus. They are very organized and were on time with my appointments. I still have some more tests to go. I should hopefully will find out, by on all days Halloween. I'm still going going to dialysis three days a week. The problem that is happening, is I'm cramping every time. When it happens it usually three hours into the treatment. I hope the doctor will reduce my time. This past ten months have been, one emotional rollercoaster. I was in coma or coma for almost two months. I had to do everything all over again. The hardest was learning to walk again. I'm walking again and getting stronger every day. I have a very strong woman by my side. I told her thank you staying by my side. I have her colleagues family and who have supported me. When things like this happen, you find out who your friends are. I will say this stay positive and have a good support group around you. When you have that it makes a big difference. The other thing the that helps, is on line support groups. I do have have my good days and bad. I have days where I feel good and other days when I where I'm tired. I will let you all know if I will on transplant list. The final thing will say, tuned the best is yet yet to come. Lol take take❤

Thanks for sharing your experience! Your positive attitude despite all of your challenges is so inspirational and you’re right-the best is yet to come. Praying you are approved for a kidney and get your transplant soon.

Hello Fsgs57 I would suggest that you ask your doctor for a medication that helps with cramping especially if you're doctor doesn't suggest to you doing 3 days of at dialysis. I use medication for my muscle cramps and it helps also at dialysis maybe they are removing to much water from you. I'm wishing you the best outcome. Quinta
