HF and HCM. Ablation and Pace. Breathlessness and the inability to move.
I had
dialysis
and a month later, after my heart which had been in A Fib since February and wouldn't fall below 168 bmp I was given Abulation (removal of AV node) and a CRT. I felt so much better and could breathe.

The Queen Who?
I'm trying not to worry too much about what
dialysis
will be like and how life will change . This adds another layer to it living with a spinal cord injury, going to school, working and needing a kidney. I know I'll be okay and life will change, but honestly life never stays the same anyway.

MRI QUESTION
My creatinine could support the contrast, but didn't know what the mesh for the
dialysis
grafts is constructed of. I would have to ask a vascular surgeon. Does anyone know?

update on jmy partner jim
He is having
dialysis
4 times a week and blood transfusions too. He's in pain, constantly screaming pain! I saw him today, he had just come back from a CT scan and hopefully we will get the results tomorrow. I went with his son Paul today.

I was in center hemodialysis for two years then i switched to home peritoneal
dialysis

I am struggling: Female, single, no husband, and no children, 33 years old
She was on
dialysis
from late September to November. Now, for January 14, 2023, they are putting her back on
dialysis
. In the past 6 months,
dialysis
caused her going back to the ER for blood transfusions. And, she was diagnosed with pneumonia.

Hi Sweet Friends.... hope everyone is hanging in there and doing well. I was approved for transplant at Mayo and am so grateful. My dear husbandand wanted to give me on of his kidneys but during his testing they found dangerously low platelets and found he has idiopathic ITP. After 2 hospitalizations

2 Months In - Dialysis Whoas!
Not convinced
dialysis
did not play a role in this issue. If anyone has experienced this type of issue, please let me know what you did to ease the headaches. I really need to stay in treatment, but it is getting hard. Some thoughts I have had: It could potentially be caffeine withdrawal.

Massive Headaches During Dialysis
Unlike most
dialysis
patients I have low magnesium, low potassium, low sodium. The headaches I have are excruciating. I take 4x 500mg acetaminophen and it barely puts a dent into my pain. My Nephrologist, who I like and respect has said that headaches during
dialysis
are uncommon.

let's stay with positivity..
I was diagnosed with end stage renal failure at the age of 16 and had undergone
dialysis
continuously for 7 to 8 months. Fortunately My Father was my kidney donor and got my transplant on 2012, 10 yrs ago. I was at the age of 16 during that time.

How will my life change on PD?
I just found out that I'll be starting peritoneal
dialysis
in 2 weeks. When I went to the initial orientation several months ago the RN suggested that walking should be my only exercise. I typically walk, run, hike, kayak, snowboard, and cross-country ski during the different seasons of the year.
