Dad’s Day 5 in coma
He is getting continuous
dialysis
to help rid his body of the meds. Now they are seeing some swelling in his brain and I am devastated. He was breathing without the vent yesterday and the next step is a trach. Although I know it’s part of the process, palliative has me feeling hopeless.

Arm Pain During Dialysis
I have been following this forum because my mom had to start
dialysis
. I find it so interesting but also quite perplexed of all the issues that so many people have with
dialysis
. You are all amazingly strong people who are so willingly to help others.

My father stated
dialysis
2 days ago at the hospital but he's has been hallucinating and very drowsy. He's normally independent but he's not left his bed since. Is that normal? I'm worried abt him.

Can anyone relate?
He’s depressed,
dialysis
3x a week at 5 hours a shot just about wipes him out for days. His disability just got canceled because he was making to much at his part time job, we are constantly fighting about his health, money, everything and anything.

How do I get on a donor list?
Controlling diet has been a key to avoiding
dialysis
. Now my GFR has dropped to 22 and most likely I will go into
dialysis
.

Headaches on dialysis
I have been on
dialysis
for 2 years and suffer excruciating headaches at the back of my head during and after
dialysis
. No pain killers relieve it and I have to go to bed until the next day.

looking foR ADVICE
Unfortunately, she has been put on
dialysis
. Her doctor is pretty old and I'm not sure he has her best interest. Giving her symptoms I believe she has been suffering from kidney failure for a while and possibly he over looked it.

Excessive Sweating
Hi I am a 71 year old lady and have been on been on
dialysis
for 2 years. I suffer excessive sweating while on
dialysis
and my bed and clothing is soaked. The nurses are very concerned and tell me to discuss this with the consultant, which I have done, but he has not come up with any answers.

Help needed..
Even our local Davita center, which they told me that they are only
dialysis
centers. Here no one could get in to government hospitals as they dont entertain early stages of CKD.

Milestone!
As some of you know, I'm a peritoneal
dialysis
patient and started
dialysis
4.5 months ago. My
Dialysis
team has been encouraging me to get out and do things, which I've been managing to do by taking walks and running errands for my parents.

Anti-Rejection Drugs
I believe the
dialysis
doctors nor any doctors (at least in my experience) do not help you to cope with the trauma which we go thru. Currently, I am working on my second kidney transplant as the one I have now is currently failing.
