Allergic to dialysis tape?
Is anyone else here allergic to, or irritated by, the paper tape that the dialysis lab technicians place on your arm during treatment? I get terrible red, itchy, painful, crusty rashes on the part of my arm where the tape adheres to. The clinic says they will try to special order silk tape for

Over 65? Newly low eGFR?
In the three years I've participated here I see many posts from new folks that do not include their age. Those of us with diagnosed CKD pipe up and offer suggestions for diet, labs, readings and more. All the advice can help to calm or scare new folks. We often fail to ask a simple question though,

Paying for Dialysis
When you get the news that you have CKD money may not be the first thing that you think of but it should be the second thing as paying for treatment can be more of a life disruption than the treatment it self. I didn’t look into programs that assist you with the out of pocket expenses early enough

Numbers higher
I stopped eating sweets, and it has helped me improve my Stage # 3 to Stage 2. Now, I want to get to Stage 1, and then I will have no kidney issues at all. I believe Everything is Possible with a Lifestyle change. I decided that I didn't choose to be on dialysis and knew if I didn't change what I

Nifedipine/blood pressure
it’s been a long time since I posted . I do however read other people’s stories and I think the conversations are amazing with so much advice been given thus encouraging people to often be able to advocate for themselves with the medics. I was diagnosed in 2015 but like many others believe the Scleroderma

What a week!! (Starting HD, continued)
Where was I? Ah, yes. I had just spent 3 days in the hospital getting in-patient dialysis for my first three rounds. Low Venous Flowrate, but they seemed to handle it, and ordered a Fistulagram. So, this past Monday, I drove to Duluth (114 miles, door to door) for that procedure, done in the Interventional

from PD to HD
Hi everyone. This is question is for anyone who is either having HD or has had PD and is switching to HD. I have been a PD patient since the beginning of my journey. I chose it as I felt it would allow me to go on working partime and have a next to normal life balance. Unfortunately, my PD exit site

Finishing College with CKD
Hi, I'm 22 and finishing my last semester in college with a gfr of 12. I've recently been feeling high levels of anxiety around my health issues and have found it difficult to be by myself for fear of passing out or having some kind of medical emergency due to my chronic kidney disease. I'm not on dialysis

Any Medicare Advice for ESRD?
My son is 25 and has endstage renal disease. He is on dialysis and preparing to learn more about a transplant. He is off our insurance in a few months and has been accepted for Medicare, but medicare is confusing, and some choices cannot be undone. SSA would not answer questions and I am overwhelmed
