Being a supportive wife?
my husband has kidney failure and is Waiting for a transplant. He’s currently on Dialysis 3 days a week. We did PD dialysis for about 4 months had some bumps on the road. But we back on Hemo. My husband has a fear of dying and sometimes he can’t shake it. To the point he just kinda bottles it all up

CLL, Diabetic, dialysis, afib
I want to ask if anyone has troubling walking all of a sudden. There are days my legs give out. Does anyone know if it’s my newly diagnosed CLL or diabetic for 30yrs or my kidneys. I am on dialysis now for 8yrs treatments three times a week. ?

Low BP
Hi. I have been dealing with low blood pressure, with the systolic pressure around 91 for over a week now. I am not particularly dizzy when getting up. I've read that it is no big deal until it drops below 90. I have had a lot going on with neck and shoulder pain for a month now and am seeing a chiropractor

Body Responses to Home Hemodialysis
What makes me so very sleepy after home hemodialysis? Why have my legs become very soft since dialysis? I can't walk.

My dialysis journey begins - PD catheter placement this morning
So my journey begins. I had surgery this morning for placement of my PD catheter. I arrived at the hospital at 5:45 after showering with antibiotic soap and donning comfy clothes. They took me right in, got the paperwork finalized, did the prep (which included shaving my entire abdomen which they had

Scared, confused
Hello, I am new to the community, 71-year-old female with stage 4 COPD and CKD, GFR 22. How does dialysis affect COPD? I am confused about the GFR numbers and the need for dialysis.

Gallbladder issues
I was just curious to see how many members had issues with their gallbladder? I know of two friends who have had kidney transplants and they both had their gallbladder removed previously. I myself had my gallbladder removed the same year I was diagnosed with kidney disease. I suffered with gallbladder

cpap feels like the air is less clear … stuffy … even more stuffy than breathing without it on ?
my cpap makes the air I’m breathing feel very stuffy … not quite got to grips with this …. As I’m new to this I’m wondering could it be a machine problem …. I sort of thought my air would feel clear … sorry for so many questions …. I’ve washed tubing and filter btw…

still struggling with machine and mask
had the cpap for almost a month now and seem to have 2 bad nights and one ok night. Have only felt the benefit for one day …. When I felt like I didn’t need a daily sleep. Still with the nose mask and still struggling with comfort… I don’t want to moan and I am persevering but wonder if something

Dialysis chair comfort please
Does anyone have any tips for making a dialysis chair more comfortable? In it for 12 hours a week - turning into a big deal.

Does anyone else feel kinda gobbled up by dialysis? I feel like it ate my life.
I just hit the 3 month mark of doing solo home hemo. The treatments are going great, but I am having trouble getting my groove back. Some days I feel overwhelmed trying to fit everything in and I have to remind myself that it is okay and I try and give myself some grace. It's hard, I work full-time (
