Colon Cancer Warning
Hi everyone. I wanted to give a quick reminder on the importance of getting your scheduled check ups and colonoscopies after your bowel diseases go into remission. My 65 year old father had a deadly bout with ulcerative colitis 30 years ago. He beat it and has been the picture of health for the most

Sister's dialysis treatment
HI--I am a 59 year old male, I have been going with my sister to dialysis that she has been resistant to, but seems to be more willing to do lately. The resistance took forms of the care facility she is at requiring her to go to the hospital after 3 refusals. Yesterday went somewhat better; they had

Beginning Dialysis
Hi, Call me Sarah. Have any of you found that in-center dialysis is all around more feasible than periodialysis at home. I found the home process too difficult and we don't have the space for the equipment. Anyone find a very good center with good techs in Gaithersburg or Germantown Maryland?

CPAP and Inhalers
I have found that I need to use my Fostair Nexthaler just before I go to bed for the CPAP machine to function properly. I prefer to use the inhaler with my evening meal but this means that the CPAP machine misbehaves at night and tries to float me up to the ceiling. It seems I need to use a inhaler

Dialysis or Transplant?
I am in my early 40s and recently started dialysis (PD). Been trying to get potential donors and my parents volunteered to be evaluated as donors. My parents are 70 years old. It turns out my dad got through all the tests and have been approved as a “backup donor”. We are not direct match and would need
