Vaginal Dryness & Bacterial Vaginosis
Ever since being on
dialysis
this has been an issue for me and no one has been of any help to me. I am a young woman in a relationship and these issues are a big insecurity for me. Any advice or help from anyone!? ** Lubricants/moisturizers do NOT work for me

Prepare for dialysis.
Hi all, my egfr dropped from 17 last September to 14 and I have been told to prepare for
dialysis
. Is it too late to improve on this figure? And what can I expect from
dialysis
. Will my energy levels improve? Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

Transplant recovery
On transplant list for 6 1/2 years, on Hemo-
Dialysis
for 5 1/2 years.. My diabetes A1C was 5.4 and no high blood pressure. Please don't misunderstand! I am so happy I received a kidney! As soon as I get over the hump of recovery, I will have my life back.

Kidney biopsy doesn’t show signs of disease
Did you eventually have to go on
dialysis
? Did your CKD just disappear and everything went back to normal. I don’t get it. Any help please.

Now lost the job, no EDD. I can't pay treatment bills any more.
When doing
dialysis
, fluid removing from blood the most. Fluid in muscle will slowly move into blood causing muscle cramps. Blood became thickening. Heart works harder to pump. I have to carry nitroglycerin on my neck all the time because chest pain.

Kidney Disease Solution
Of those five one has had a kidney transplant and one is on
dialysis
. I am currently at stage 3 and I’m trying really hard to halt the progression and avoid being hooked onto a machine. To that end I bought a detailed program from a registered health practitioner.

Moved around
My husband has a new
dialysis
manager that’s very young and hasn’t been a manager for long. She has the center in an uproar by moving people around daily each treatment and changing the doctor’s prescription of medications on the machine.

Dialysis fatigue
I've heard that people on
dialysis
can struggle with fatigue, is that a common side effect?

Advice from family members of dialysis He
Before we tie the knot she has advised me to speak to a few families that are living with
dialysis
for when the time comes that her kidney fails.. hopefully a long time from now. This is so that I can go into life together with my eyes open.

Time for Fistula?
Will it mature on time when
dialysis
is needed to start? Trying to avoid access in the neck. Also, according to a recent AAKP article, EV (Endovascular) Fistula, is available, it's suppose to be less invasive procedure with better outcome, perhaps shorter time to mature. Has anyone used it?
