Need info on weight gain and PD
I am learning about different dialysis methods. My nephrologist is leaning toward PD when the time comes. However, I am hearing that PD can put on weight very easily. How do people deal with that? And how, if your diabetic, do you deal with the glucose solution?

Scared
Coming off pramipexole. Not sure why just after midnight is my worst time. I’m coming off pramipexole but having some weird symptoms. I’ve got this weird pain my side. Sometimes it’s in my tummy. Sometimes under my ribs. It’s worse when I move. I took 3 gabapentin today. No pramipexole. Not good

PD Support
Where can I find a PD Dialysis Support Group? I live in the US in the state of Maryland and would like to talk to someone that is currently doing this type of dialysis if possible.

Seeking advice
My egfr result is 18 but my Nephrologist says it's realistically nearer 15. I have damage/calcification to my kidneys thought to be caused by extreme intake of vit D over extended period. I have extreme needle and hospital phobias. I am 42. My weight is 43 kg. Dialysis and transplant may not be possible

B12 & OSA
Hi all Anybody else have sleep apnoea as well as PA/B12 def.? I can’t work out what is causing the fatigue. Injections help a bit (SI approx once/month) but don’t give the boost I would like. Sleep is rubbish with excessive dreaming and interrupted sleep although use CPAP. I feel like I need some help

Creatinine 1.92
I just celebrated 15 years with my kidney and it was a cadaver and has served me well. I lately haven’t had a taste for drinking water and have been drinking the Pierre Fusion drinks with mineral water and juice flavors. I must say I’m a bit laidback, but I take my medicine on time at the same time every

Is there a chance?
My son is in the hospital. 4 years post transplant . Possible rejection. Entered hospital with creatine level of 5.1. Put him on antibiotics and steroids. Then had plasmaphyesis. Creatine level was 7.4 after treatment . He is 35. Having second treatment today. I think the p!an is to continue treatment

Another Question! Is it PMR or GCA Symptom's!
Back again with another question, After my GCA/Shingles scare last month I'm still feeling pain in my left jaw by my ear. Went to dentist before the GCA scare and said he couldn't find anything wrong. Also, have pain, stiffness in my left shoulder at the back, going up my neck behind my ear area.
