Salty Behavior
I have been on
dialysis
for over 10 years and I still crave salt. I eat small amounts of straight salt throughout the day. I have talked to doctors and they act like its no big deal. That its just a behavior that I can stop. I didn't do it before I had kidney failure.

Fatigue
3rd mth into
dialysis
. Last few sessions have really felt the fatigue issues, to the point of barely being able to function. I know is normal response to treatment. Does it get any better? Labs are fair.

My big brother
He was then put on to a
dialysis
machine to take over from his kidneys. John started to make little signs of progress. The gave him a procedure to move the life support tube from going in through his mouth to going in through his windpipe.

Minimizing the end.
Id like to stop
dialysis
. Will they put me into a medically induced coma if i request it so i dont have to suffer thru hi potassium problems like heart attacks. Or will they make me wait until i naturally slip into a coma?

Disclosing CKD
When I
dialysis
I will be referred for Kidney Transplant. I don’t know if I have to disclose this information to my employer. Do I keep it to myself? Do I let my supervisor know? I am worried about how it will affect my employment, I have been employed for over 13 yr. now.

First Appointment Today
I’m worried if I go into Stage 4 I’ll have to have
dialysis
. Does anyone think I can control this with a strict diet and lowering BP? I guess I’ll have to ask the doctor these questions. Any feedback you have for me is welcome! Thank you for reading my post. God Bless you all 😇

Peritoneal Dialysis
My husband and I are training to do PD. He had the permanent catheter implanted and it is working fine. Someone recommended that he should get a fistula in his arm as a backup. Is that usually done?

GFR and Potassium
I was told that if I have to go on
dialysis
before receiving a kidney it could cause complications with the donation or cause the kidney to last less longer, does anyone have experience with this ?

Pain period!
I need words of encouragement because I'm going to "school" again for my treatment(
dialysis
) I'm in alot of pain right now! Everywhere Arggghhh! Help me! I just need help to help lift my spirits up! I'm having these voices in my head "I should go or don't go!" I'm always tired most of the time.

Introduction
Removing it could cause me to have to have
dialysis
for the rest of my life so I am content to watch it for now. Have a multitude of other problems but kidney function is still good and I am living a good life. Last CT scan revealed a cyst also on my kidney, but God is good!!
