Thank you for letting me join the group. 6 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney disease and am on regular
dialysis
. I have since developed restless leg syndrome which has got steadily worse. Pramipexole was prescribed but honestly doesn't help much.

Itch problem
He has an extreme itchy time sitting for hours in a vinyl chair at
dialysis
. He sometimes has to disconnect early and leave. I cannot find any type of cushion or something cold to order that would keep his back from flaring up while he sits so long. Has anyone out there found an item they use?

Flu A/scarred lungs/coughing
I had to have 3 blood transfusions and
dialysis
while I was asleep for 3 weeks. I was given a tracheostomy.It took me longer than the medics were happy with to wake up, an extra week I believe. While in hospital I was given a CT SCAN and I was informed that my lungs were scarred.

when to begin Dialysis?
His Dr wants him to start
dialysis
yet he doesn’t want to, naturally. He says he doesn’t feel bad yet I think he has felt bad for so long that he doesn’t know. My question; can he wait a little longer? Drs fear a big ER event. Not sure if they are worried about his health or the $.

dialysis

dialysis
the feeling crappy and chest pain. Any ideas??

Don't panic
Although you need to make changes in your life, preserve your remaining kidney function, you're not going to die next week and probably never end up on
dialysis
. Don't panic.

Question about dialysis
I’d like to know why you chose the type of
dialysis
that you did, Hemodialysis (Home or clinic) or peritoneal? Any insights would be appreciated.
