Please have blood tests if taking medication - Pentasa.
I’m now starting Peritoneal
Dialysis
as I feel so awful. I’ll be on
dialysis
every day until I can get a kidney transplant :-( Please do make sure the medication you are taking isn’t causing you harm x

Very Low Heart Rate/Pulse only while on dialyi=sis!!??
Does anyone else have any experience with a sudden low heart rate during
dialysis
? I am exercising less lately and probably eating more sodium if that matters.

My dialysis journey begins - PD catheter placement this morning
But my journey into the world of
dialysis
has officially begun! Whoo hoo! I may copy this and post some of it in other areas of the site for others to read who are in the general CKD list, so I apologize for the duplication to those in both groups.

Gallbladder issues
I was chatting to a few of my fellow
dialysis
patients the other day. Most of them had issues with their gallbladders. Most of the women about 5 of them, also had theirs removed. That was just the ones I spoke to!! Just wondering if this applied to any members?

The Queen is off Friday.... whose watching the Kingdom?
But I'd sell all my jewels and pay a bunch of bills, but I'd also make life more comfortable for people doing
dialysis
. I wish I could take my crown off pluck each jewel out and sell it each one for a good cause.

Low BP
I thought about reaching out to my
dialysis
team, but they will just advise me to see my doctor, whom I have recently seen and must wait a month before I see her again, as she is booked up. Has anyone else been dealing with low BP?

Dialysis Alarm
I am having
dialysis
at home. I am deaf and do not hear the alarm when the machine malfunctions so wake up in the morning with
dialysis
not completed. Does anyone know if there is some sort of vibrating alarm that could be connected to the machine,

Depression, Anxiety, Worry, PTSD, and Mother's Senior Care (2nd Opinion)
She use to be a
dialysis
patient. That was for two 1/2 months: October, November, and December. They told her she is no longer a
dialysis
patient after treatment. During this time, she was going to the ER for blood transfusions and poor vitals.

Time for Dialysis?
I'm definitely nervous about starting
dialysis
, but the at home method seems like it would suit me better. For those that are on
dialysis
, do you feel a lot better having started it? I'm wondering if all the effort will be worth how I will feel after starting it.
