She had another child recently and has been gravely ill ever since. I found out yesterday from one of her family members that she has heart

Private Health Insurance while ESRD
I am taking care of my husband who has been on dialysis for over a year. He goes into a dialysis clinic m-w-f. We moved almost 2,000 miles in September to be near family. He is not getting the proper care through the VA in Texas and we were told that no private health insurance will cover him because

Great conversation from all!
I am so appreciative of everyones comments! Positive comments always help during difficult times! I started HD three times a week after putting off dialysis for months until my eGFR finally hit 8 and creatinine hit 6.56. I weighed the pros and cons of HD vs PD and thought at this time HD would be

Today I will have surgery for the development of my blood vessels to start the dialysis process. The impurities in my body are starting to build up. I have several gout locations. A foot is swollen this morning and my face is puffy. I know all of these are signs that it is time to take this step. My

ESRD § RLS § severe nerve Damage. Inherited § nerve damage
I can remember my first anxiety attack when I was 16. I was in my early 20’s when my friend and boyfriend brought me home and put me to bed. They later said they could hear me thrashing around in bed like I was running with my feet under the covers. I had rls attacks over the years. Years later my father

My last phone call Sept 5th 2016 was the one. 2 yrs an running

Waiting for a transplant
I have been on PD for 1 year. I do my dialysis every night for 10 1/2 hrs. I'm on the transplant list through Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fl. It would be great to find a living donor. My family members are not a match although my daughter in law has been going for tests to try and become a paired donor

Stage 4
Hi all I am scared. I have recently been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, my dr seems overly keen to get me on dialysis. Im not so keen to rush into this life changing decision as i need to process my diagnoses. I have come across various articles where baking soda has been suggested to slow down

Roadblock
I’m on waiting list for transplant but right now I’m doing PD dialysis. That is going well. As routine as it is to do it 5 days out of 7 and at night while sleeping is so good. But a transplant would be wonders! So I am going through the evaluation process right now and my sister has volunteered and

Post Transplant Side Effects
I'm 28 years old and will start my first dialysis session tomorrow and going to transplant evaluation next week. After a lot of reading in NKF and some papers, I realize dialysis is much safer and have less serious side effects compared to transplant though I know it's inconvenient. I'd like to know

I have been on dialysis for past 4 months. Why am I getting too much giddiness and leg tingling?
At the initial stage of dialysis I am okay but after a month of dialysis I am getting giddiness and leg tingling. I am imbalance now. Can't walk without someone else support. Please advise what should I do. Regards.

Fistula problems
Second week of using fistula. A tech infiltrated it, could not use for two weeks. Tried to use it again and did not work. Was told may have to use heparin prior to run. I know is not a drug to fool around with. Any side effects to using with dialysis? My blood was very colored and clotted in tubing.

Dialysis on every 4th day
My sister (Age-23) suffering from CKD since December'17. In the beginning when her creatnine level is 8 that time we were not very much aware about her condition and thinking that Homeopathy or Ayurvedic medicine can treat the disease and got the Cretanine level down but it's not happened and creatnine

GFR of 5 To start dialysis or not
Just got my labs, Potassium 5.7, BUN 90, Creatinine 10.3.GFR 5. Last week I had surgery to put a PD catheter in place for use if needed. Post surgery I was constipated from the pain meds and had difficulty urinating, due to the Foley catheter. Other than getting tired easy from physical exertion

Taking some time.
Hey all, I feel really connected to this community- it's given me an outlet for information and invaluable support throughout my time on dialysis, and now post transplant.
