New to disease. Food questions.
I have just found out that my husband's eGFR is 29. It was 59 last year. They say he is in Stage 4 kidney disease and he'll have to go on dialysis at Stage 5. I'm going to have to change how he eats...very little protein or fruits and vegetables with low potassium. I feel like I need a degree in

Blood pressure jumps up
For years my blood pressure was low, like 110/50, but these few months all of sudden unplainarily my B P jumped up to around 170/70 , I used maximum amount of B P medicines and it barely works, Do any one has similiar things happened to you? i'm 70, been on dialysis 11 years now.

Dialysis & MS-contin (Morphine)
I started dialysis 4 weeks ago and I’m up to 4 hour treatments. At 3 hours the ms-contin was ok, at 4 hours it bleeds off all ms-contin and I end up in excruciating pain for about 36 hours before I get the chronic pain under control. Has anyone gone through this or have any recommendations on other drugs

Learn as much as possible...even if it happens to contradict what Dialysis staff tells you!
Parents, learn as much as possible about ESRD. Then learn about the real Science of the body, foods, and a little chemistry. So when your child gets older, you can teach them everything! ...though they are never so young to start learning about it, especially if they have to live with it! But remember

Fear of Staple Removal Pain
The vascular doctor tried to make a AV fistyla in my arm during the second part surgery but ended up having to do an AV graph. I now have staples going from elbow to arm pit which will be taken out on Wednesday. I am anxious because nurses at dialysis center said I would not be given numbing meds before

My Husband was admitted to hospital and currently on ICU.
My husband has been in ICU for the last 9 days. We have been told he is critical. His kidneys have failed and he is on dialysis. He is on a ventilator and on 100% oxygen. We feel so deflated after a phone call from the doctors. We understand they do not want to give us false hope but wanted to very
