In need of some encouragement and insight. (waking up from coma, dealing with the trach, etc...)
They operated her to save her legs (which they did) and also gave her 3
dialysis
treatments. We were sure this is likely the end and were mortified.

I'm new here and I need help.
(subconsciously I know its not true but I make myself think it is) I can't stop worrying about my dad( his kidneys failed and he is on
dialysis
) and I don't know why I feel like I am worthless even if others say different. If you could help me that would be a miracle to me.

Zytiga & Prednisone
My pharmacist tells me that Prednisone is hard on the kidneys so my concern is ending up on
dialysis
in the future.

Facing Dialysis and/or Kidney Transplant
I am possibly facing
dialysis
and/or a transplant. I have no idea about the timeframe. I would like to know how you dealt with impending kidney failure and how you proceeded. I am feeling very alone and scared of my future. Would love to hear from you. Many thanks.

LOST
We are thinking the amount of money for
dialysis
3 times a week vs the amount of money that can be saved after the surgery would be a no brainer... we are getting very discouraged... ANY help given as far as other resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ONLY 10% of NON-DIALYSIS KIDNEY PATIENTS EVER SEE A DIETITIAN.
Medicare spends $33 billion a year on
dialysis
patients, and costs for non-
dialysis
kidney patients are higher than the costs of treating stroke or cancer. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is one of the most important ways to slow the progression of kidney disease and prevent kidney failure.

Despite doing this whole diet thing for so long, being on
dialysis
made me have to think about day-to-day levels so I don't become dehydrated (sodium, despite needing to be limited, is still needed for body function in keeping your blood pressure up..

makes that hard if you don't have enough

So far I only know my uncle was on
dialysis
, got 2 kidneys and rejected both within a week. I am so dead. That's exactly how I feel. Sorry for the bummer post. I am trying to keep my head but I really can't this time. Any words of encouragement from anyone hopefully will help me.

To and From Dialysis: How would you rate your Transportation?
You are invited to complete a transportation survey if you are a
dialysis
patient who uses either Medicaid or paratransit (transportation for people with disabilities provided by local governments or state funded programs) transportation services as your mode of transportation for your
dialysis
treatments

PD dialysis
Does anyone have recommendation as to starting PD v. in center Hemo. No partner so home Hemo seems problematic. Infection, discomfort with fluid in abdomen with PD. Hemo seems hard to sit in a chair for 3-4 hours, and maybe washed out afterwards.
