Over 80, a month in the ICU
He has kidney problems but his body is not handling
dialysis
anymore. They are giving him morphine. Me and my family feel hopeless and we don’t want him to suffer anymore... it’s hard to think properly and know what’s the right thing to do. Thank you, much love and best wishes to all.

Worrying mother in a strange city learning to take care of her single kidney diebetic daughter
Her kidney function is now down to seventeen and if it gets to ten they will start
dialysis
. I am very frightened I don’t do well enough in helping my daughter.

Has anyone had to deal with the issue of stop taking the drug, Lithium, to delay
dialysis
or decided to stay on Lithium until her kidneys were destroyed, but felt a little better mentally in other ways?

Anyone Else??
I've been on hemo
dialysis
5 years (going on 6). I'm on my 2nd graft. I've had my parathyroid removed due to calcium issues.

First week on hemo - no energy, cramping, limited mobility
Nurse said since I wasn't "screaming in pain" it wasn't due to the
dialysis
- although I've NEVER had them that long. Thoughts? 2) Each day when I stood up at the end of the session I felt like I was going to pass out.

Living with stage 5 ckd without dialysis
Since then, I have had no transplant and no
dialysis
. I am still going strong. My GFR is 12. i am still realtively young (57). As far as I can find, no one has heard of a case like mine. I should not be alive.

Daughter to father transplant
Hi, I want to donate to my father who is a ESRD patient, not yet on
dialysis
. He is averse to this unable to bear the idea of accepting a kidney from his own daughter.

Sister's dialysis treatment
The kidney doctor said they should have started the
dialysis
a year earlier, I don't know what the delays were. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Beginning Dialysis
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?

Tired all the time!!
I am assuming it all
dialysis
/kidney related. Maybe I am lacking a vitamin so I asked him about a multi-vitamin that I can take and he said I can try. Just wondering if any one is dealing with being consistently tired and what you are doing to cope?

Help with Kt/V dropping
The Kt/V is an indicator of how well the
dialysis
treatments are cleaning my blood. I am confused because my UF (ultrafiltration) rates have not been low.
