Experiences with

Haemodialysis

Can anyone shed some light on home haemodialysis? Or any advice would be great! my dad is currently on Haemodialysis (via central line) done in hospital. He has been told he needs to do longer hours & home haemo is an option!

Since i started Haemodialysis approx 30 months ago, I have issues with getting a good sleep. Most dialysis patients I talk to, seem to sleep a lot. However I just can't sleep. I am tired but as soon as I go to bed, im awake. I have noticed after a dialysis session, I just can't sleep.

I've been doing haemodialysis for a little over 3 years. And I have been like clock work never missing a session. But lately I'm wanting to give up. I'm struggling with my dry weight and I was wondering if anyone has felt like this or is going through this. Quita55

Hi Friends My mother is on Maintenance Haemodialysis thrice a week since 4 months. She is now adjusted to this process. As she lives in the tropical country, in the summer season it will be difficult for her to limit the fluid intake.

As if all this wasn't enough, she's also on haemodialysis. There's no room for the peritoneal version due to her enlarged organs. I certified (last month) to deliver home haemodialysis with the local trust, determined to do whatever I can to help her.

I had my catheter put in yesterday and haemodialysis for 1 hour. 2 hours booked Monday and will be increased again Wednesday. I feel so sad but I was relieved the session went well yesterday. In 1994 I would have seizures, migraines, vomiting and low blood pressure. So I was terrified.

Hi, Is there anyone who has had a haemodialysis fistula removed after a successful transplant. My consultant recommended it today under a general anesthetic as it's a bit fast, a bit strong and my skin is a bit too thin in places.

My name is Rachel and at the age of 12, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called nephrotic syndrome.

I would love to hear about your experience and how it's going.... Do you have a in home care giver or are you solo? How long did it take to get comfortable with the process or do you ever get comfortable with it?

Here is my latest on my journey in home hemodialysis. I started this process on October 16th. And we came home on December 18th. Many people get home faster but I had issues with a couple of weeks of when they infiltrated my fistula (poked through it and I was bleeding internally). The problem was the

Only Haemodialysis, as I am on my own with no support it would be in hospital. Also it would be in a satellite premises a 1.5 hours away from my home! Not happy. Latest, my diabetic reading has gone up so my Neph has asked my GP's to issue a certain tablet.

It has been the hardest month I have ever had in my life. I promised I would write an honest and complete description of the process. I started on October 16th. The first week, I wrote about already. Not too many issues. But in my head, I was so overwhelmed. I was not ready for dialysis mentally in

I should have posted this here. I did originally posted it in the site for dialysis. But if you are looking toward dialysis, you would be on this site first.

As I promised, I am going to document my journey as I have done before. Now it is hemodialysis. Holy mackerel. Anyone who thinks this is easy, let them sit in the chair for a turn and see what they think. My husband came with me and will be attending the training with me for the next five weeks. I am

This is a hard post to write. I am headed for dialysis within the next month or two. NO getting around it now. No chance for reversal or improvement at this point. It was a good fight. I have some questions to start learning about this process. I will be doing home hemodialysis. I am already did the

I am writing this for those who are heading to dialysis and want to know what it is like. As RonZone did with PD, I am talking about home hemodialysis, HHD. My lab numbers are at the point to "get-er done." The first step: I was scheduled for an AV fistula; first-stage left brachiobasilic fistula

I have been on haemodialysis since May. Having completed all the tests etc at the beginning of November, I was just waiting to go live in the transplant list.
