Skin problems
I have lost weight since the auto immune and kidney problem and the
dialysis
has made my skin loose, dry and dehydrated. I'm all crinkly with no collagen present. I use organic coconut oil in the bath and a thick body cream, but nothing appears to make my skin look how it was. Any suggestions?

My Dad is fighting Covid on a ventilator
He was also on
dialysis
for a brief time, but has been off that for a week now. Last week he contracted an infection in the hospital which necessitated him being on 4 antibiotics. He is now down to 2.

Diet changes, it is complicated
I do not know how long I can go without
dialysis
, now that my GFR dropped to 13. And we all know how hard that is. So there will be days when food wins. Not every day. But I am not giving up my popcorn with butter on Saturday movie night and I have never met a piece of chocolate cake I didn't love.

Feeling like crap after dialysis
I'm 18 and I've been on
dialysis
since April. After every
dialysis
treatment I feel like crap the entire day. Doctors and the internet say I should feel better after
dialysis
but I don't. Does anyone know why that is?

How long without dialysis
I'm on hemo
dialysis
and I only go twice a week. I want to take it down to once a week. How long have you been able to go without
dialysis
? Also what should I look for as signs of being off to long?

Love donors
I am 31 years old, and a single mom who is on
dialysis
, and dreaming of getting a transplant. Hopefully, in my future I will find a donor and get the transplant I so desperately need and want. Thanks to all of you who have donated your kidneys.

Sleeping kidney after transplant
He had 9% function before he received the kidney and wasn’t on
dialysis
beforehand. He’s in hospital and due to Covid he’s alone and I can’t go. He’s not great at talking to Doctors and I’m not getting any information. His new kidney isn’t working yet.

Covid ICU Septic Shock No response
She unfortunately still developed a severe enough infection that turn into septic shock causing her kidneys to fail and require
dialysis
and her bp dropping as low as 90/39 at one point. She is not making urine or very little of it.

Need advice for backup power supply for doing home dialysis
My husband has been on home hemodialysis for two years. We want to get a backup power supply for the dialyzer in the event of a power failure. We know nothing about how to go about this. Does anyone else have a backup power unit for their home equipment? Thanks.
