Living with Meningitis effects
I required
dialysis
and was tube fed, first through my nose and then through my stomach. I had to learn to walk again. The effects the meningitis has left me with are truly unbearable. Back in 2020 my ankles and feet started fl hurt and swell.

What to do when dad gets home from hospital
My dad 79 and a veteran, just started kidney
dialysis
in the hospital. I live an hour and I am hoping they can setup rides to
dialysis
when he gets home. I am worried about his new diet plan. Because of my health I can only get there once a week. Any tips are appreciated.

Activity restrictions on peritoneal dialysis?
I just attended my first PD orientation and I am very sad to learn that once the catheter is in place I won't be able to soak in a bathtub or go swimming. The RN didn't seem in favor of doing other strenuous sports like snowboarding or running. Have other been able to stay active and do sports while

My story. I had CKD 3 then Kidney failure went on dialysis over 5 years then a friend donated his kidney and I received a transplant 2020.
I went into kidney failure and started
dialysis
for over 5 years. I received a transplant from a friend in 2020. Perfect match.

Emergency dialysis
I might have to do emergency
dialysis
if I don’t get better tomorrow. I’m wondering what they are going to do and what it’s going to be like, how it feels. Anything I need to know. I’m prettty nervous

The Queens first steps inside the Dialysis Center
I went to
dialysis
education yesterday. It was the very first time I went inside a building I have past a million times knowing it was where people got
dialysis
. Going in I felt a wealth of emotions none greater than sadness. It felt suffocating and surreal to be honest.

Fistula Time
I guess I won't know how I will feel until I begin
dialysis
, but for now I'm trying to education myself and stay positive. On another note I will be going to the transplant center for evaluating. My dad wants to see if he can donate to me.

Kidney hasn’t woken up. Is there still hope?
She is back on
dialysis
but it’s not really helping with the sickness. The covid restrictions in place make it tricky to find out much info as her husband is stuggling to make contact with the Drs on a daily basis.

Does anyone has this rare kidney disease (familial hypercalciuria, hypomagnesemia and nephrocalsinosis)?
I’m trying to prevent
dialysis
and kidney failure with a healthy diet only.

Vein Mapping
My plan is to work and do
dialysis
. It feels hard to figure out. And the unknowns are hard for a planner. Will I be tired? Will I need to nap afterwards? Will work work with me? Will I be able to focus and do my job? Will I be able to have as normal a life as I want?

GFR drop-potassium high
I've been fortunate to not have to do
dialysis
and worried that I may need this before I get a donor & transplant.

PD catheter installation
He wants to increase Amlodophine to 10 mg to lower the BP.My question is once the catheter is installed and healed do I have to go on
dialysis
immediately or I can wait for another year or so till I start feeling bad. I would highly appreciate your help/ know how in this matter.

Stressed Out
During my
dialysis
treatments I've been having severe panic attacks. After discussion with all the docs, we've decided to start using Ativan during treatments. Unfortunately I don't know why I panic. Shit, if I did I would make myself not, ya know? lol It just starts happening.

Is my sister being overly drugged?
She is on
dialysis
(her kidneys failed and I think it was due to ventilator settings- they said they had her on “Covid settings” to give her maximum oxygen. (32 pressure, 10 seconds release 2 seconds -it was like this for 7 days) -we know she’s angry and freaked out about being there.

I have everything to put up with - need some reassurance
I am terrified beyond anything - I cannot keep off reading on google about this and it has become an obsession now.I am due to see the nephrologist in a months time and all this waiting is killing me - I am terrified of
dialysis
- I have read that you itch non stop - that you are constipated beyond reason
