All my labs are were they should be and I have
dialysis
at home. The routine gets a bit monotonous, but that's life.

caregiver for family member
My mil is a 65-year-old woman who has been on
dialysis
for over a year. She has had CKD for 20+ years, along with diabetes, HTN, and arthritis. I was looking for community online support because sometimes we feel information overloaded.

Yes, definitely
Btw, most people with ckd die from a heart condition before reaching
dialysis
necessity (90%). Healthy diet and exercise greatly reduces cardiovascular risks for 98% of people.

I need some help with this
iPTH has come way down since I started
dialysis
. most all numbers are stable or better. Except for phosphorus, which got to 7.2. But I have been on a binder for a while now and should be better. I still pee and a lot. Clearance is fabulous. I do not take off any fluid during
dialysis
.

To poop or not to poop, that is the question
I already have an issue with it because of Ozempic and being on
dialysis
. I had to stop eating oatmeal every day. I eat a ton of fiber and make sure I move during the day. I have to limit water because I cannot make it through
dialysis
any more than 2 hours or I have to pee.

It's been eight months since I found out I will need a transplant
My doctor told me I'd need to start
dialysis
/get a transplant when I got to a GFR of
10
. I had my blood drawn today and my GFR is
11
. I'm scheduled for a fistula surgery in the next couple of weeks so I can do hemodialysis. I am not able to do peritoneal
dialysis
.

Working after transplant
I have a desk job and I can work from home (I do so on
dialysis
days). So there is a lot of sitting. I have a whole list of questions for them on the 21st but I've not seen this one asked/answered.

Sick for weeks
The drowning feeling has improved just happens after a few hours of
dialysis
with chest pain. My heartrate is controlled by medication now. Have had ECGs CT Scans xrays and an angiogram my heart is fine. It's worse when I'm on
dialysis
the feeling crappy and chest pain. Any ideas??

PD abdomen HUGE
I started manual pd
dialysis
Tuesday and this is now Wednesday eve. Currently on 1500 ml. My abdomen is like I am six months pregnant in two days. Will that be the norm for me now? I expected some bloat but I seem to be up three sizes and hard to sit straight with knees together comfortably.

Fistula or Graft
I have to go back on Fri the 20th to redo it on a non
dialysis
day to see if a fistula would be possible. Otherwise I’ll have to get a graft. I’m not sure
dialysis
affected my vein size that much as they don’t take all that much off.
