Barely making it to the toilet....
I am stage 5 waiting to start dialysis. I noticed today that I was peeing more and barely making it to the toilet. I have also had a lot of cramps in my toes. I am not dehydrated but my feet and toes are acting like it. Has anyone else experienced this in late stage?

Sleep Apnea
I’ve got AF and just been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and have started with a CPAP Machine. However on the third night of trying to sleep but struggling to get comfortable with the machine I woke up around 5.30. and had palpitations. An AF attack had started and is calming down now with the help

Hughes Syndrome - December 2019
Hughes Syndrome - December 2019 December 6 saw a second London Bridge terrorist attack, the first in Borough Market, the second on the other end of the bridge – both within a couple of hundred yards of our hospital, both with slashing knives. It is poignant to reflect on the long and colourful history

Nephrologist doctor with CKD... what do you think?
While I am very new to this forum, I am SO glad that I found you people!! It gives me hope to see the success stories, and it also makes me realize how disinterested the medical community is in truly helping CKD patients, until the disease is too far advanced, and dialysis is required. Why are nephrologists

Sudden drop in GFR due to dehydration?
Just a bit scared. (I didnt think I had kidney disease) , but yesterday I went to the ER for several near syncopal episodes. My bun was 26, creat was 1.75, and my GFR was 30. The last physical I had was in March, and my creat was 1.1 at that time. My GFR has always been >=60. I do have hypertension

Is there any home scale that measures dry weight?
Hello All. Does anyone know of a home scale that use to keep track of my daily dry weight? I am having problems with my technicians pulling to much fluids from my body as I suffer from cramps during and after treatment. I weigh myself on an old pounds scale and convert it to kg using the internet before

How Sleep Apnea Differs in Women
At the 39 minute mark of this podcast there is an interesting piece on how sleep apnea can be different in women and the overall AHI numbers may not be the best measurement. Apparently women often have an issue with REM. This is exactly what happened in my sleep study. I had a large number of apneas

So this time tomorrow morning I'll be checking into hospital to get my catheter fitted so I can start dialysis in 6 weeks time. To say I'm bricking it is an understatement, been absolutely fine through the whole thing except the weekend when I had a wee wobble. It's a step into the unknown but one I

What is the difference between “normal” tired and dialysis tired?
I have heard that you get tired and weak after dialysis so I’m asking if the tired I am feeling is a tired after dialysis or am I just normally tired? I hope that made sense

I AM ON STUDY TRANSPLANT LIST
I signed up at my Transplant Hospital to be one of the study participants in the hep C+ deceased kidney transplant recipients. The transplant doctor said it could be three days or 70 days until I receive a kidney, but it will not be waiting four more years on the Wait List. I was put on the Wait List
