Sleeping like a baby...
Hi, my husband is 56 years old, PD for approx. 9 years. Sometimes he wakes up in the morning and then has to go back to bed an hour later. He sleeps most of the afternoon away. His quality of life is really bad. He has gained so much weight because of his inactivity. I read all these posts about people

Awaiting Kidney Transplant
Hello, everyone. I have questions about being prepared for a kidney transplant. I feel completely unprepared and do not know what questions to ask my transplant coordinator. I have been on dialysis for five years. I have a potential donor who is well into the evaluation process at my transplant center

CBD for anxiety and insomnia
Has anyone had experience with CBD for relieving anxiety and insomnia? I’m on Pradaxa, metoprolol and had ablation for AFib and SVT 2 yrs ago. Doing ok mostly but extremely lethargic because I don’t get enough sleep even with my CPAP. I’m 74 and was otherwise pretty healthy. I appreciate any insight

PD Dialysis.
Hi, I just got my PD cath placed on this past Friday. I am bloated and uncomfortable. I haven’t started my PD training yet. I understand bloating is involved with PD, but is it going to be constant? I have had so many weight changes and I was JUST getting adjusted to my smaller weight. I plan on going

Had surgery, getting ready to train for PD Dialysis.
I had surgery on March 20. As everyone posted, not bad at all. Minor discomfort but no actual pain. Must make sure to mention this to my Dr. thanks for the unnecessary stress. Dr had told me “of course it would be painful.” I met with the nurses at the center and what wonderful people. Wish

DIALYSIS
I have been on dialysis for about 18 months and really have had very little side effects either before, during, or after. I am still producing urine. Question: How have you done on dialysis? How long have you been on it? Do you have problems the longer you are on it? What kind of problems have you
