Digestive symptoms post dialysis
my husband has been on center hemodialysis for about a year and a half. None of the medical staff seem to be able to understand or help with the extreme throat/esophageal discomfort he feels for close to 24 hours following dialysis., with no appetite. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this. He

Dialysis / RLS
Wow, this sub is a lot more active than the Kidney Disease sub, one would think it would be the other way around. I guess RLS is a lot more prevalent than people think? I never experienced or even heard of RLS before starting dialysis but boy did it hit me hard. It's already hard to sleep while doing

Dialysis, what are the cons?
I'm a way off from having to have dialysis but am wondering about the cons of it. I know the pros but would like to hear from dialysis patients what it's like, the cons, the diet, labs, etc. Not really sure but I have a feeling that it's not as cozy or as simple as it looks to be. Also, maybe from

my mom may be diagnostic. Please help!
She is 78, has heart

Sauna post-kidney transpant
My kidney transplant was almost 2 years ago. All is doing well. I have loved my home sauna in the past and would love to resume using it this fall/winter. My transplant doctor suggests that would NOT be a good idea - not because of hydration issues, which could be managed but because the heat of the

Struggling to put on weight
Hi I wonder if there is anybody struggling to put on weight in spite of having 1800-2000 calorie input a day. On this site I usually find only posts in which people complain of not being able to lose weight. I have persistent AF, heart failure and CKD stage 3a. Whenever I ask my doctor why I cannot

low WBC Count & CMV Update
Okey, I haven’t posted for a while because I haven’t felt terribly well. I’m fairly sure this is due to the high dose of Valcyte I’m taking and have taken for all but 2 months since the first week of June. BACKGROUND I had a kidney transplant the week before Thanksgiving 2022. The surgery went well

PMR Heavy Legs / Lead Legs / Low Energy
Hello, I haven't posted in a long time. I've read many articles. I didn't know what DSNS was until I went to the FAQ's and then tapering plans page. Both PMRpro and DorsetLady, and others have tapering plans (thank you PMRpro & DorsetLady). I have bounced around 15 to 5 MG for the past year. I'm currently

Post Ablation Diagnosis
I have been very fortunate and had my Afib ablation in Leicester in May. I had excellent treatment with very minimal side effects from the procedure and am back doing exercise and best of all, no episodes of Afib - so all very positive even though it is very early days. My follow up appointment is in

Update: re my "draining fluid" post
I recently about (4th August) posted on the above topic. I thought I was going into hospital to have fluid drained. To those that replied, sorry for the delay! I will be reading and responding over the next few days, but in the meantime, thanks to all of you, you are a great source of support and

Someone finally said the quiet part out loud.
As if ALS wasn't bad enough, I'm in
kidney
failure
and a cancer dx is imminent. I'm being forced to run the same gauntlet as my neurological injury. Doctors refuse to test and if they do, they deny their findings.
