Heamo newby. Dizzy, headache, nausea and vomitting. Help?
Hi. I'm Helen. I'm 43, diabetic and have just started HD 5 sessions ago. I am still passing urine so my consultant has prescribed two three hour sessions per week. I currently have a line but will be getting a fistula quite soon. The thing is the dialysis is making me feel dreadful. I leave the unit

Update and Advice on delirium please
Hi everyone. I wrote a post about a month ago about my close friend who was in an induced coma with chronic pnuemonia and sepsis. I thought I would update you and also ask some more advice if that's ok. At 3weeks he had his breathing tube taken out of his mouth and had a tracheostomy fitted. He was then

This is me !!
I am 76, went through 5 different cancers, lost my kidney in 2014. I am feeling great now and so much more energy then the last 10 years. I have finally learned that having a healthy weight does so much more for you. My BP is normal, no diabetes, Afib under control. Still under doctors care for bladder

Blessed to be a living donor!
Hi! I’m new here..donated a kidney to my dear friend Monica in 2016 at Froedtert Hospital in the Milwaukee area. We are of different races and blood types (I’m A, she’s O), yet we’re able to do a direct donation. We are both doing great, and Monica truly looks younger and better than I’ve seen her in

Family Were Affected By Kidney Disease!
My name is Robert Ivy, I grew up around a kidney patient all of my life. My Mother was on dialysis for 35 years until her death. My Sister and I never imagine that we would have Kidney disease. My Sister had a Kidney transplant in 2007 and I had a kidney transplant in 2013. I thank God that my Sister

Quit Worrying !!!
Ok, here I go again !! Worrying is not going to change a thing. Worrying will not make it go away. Learn to accept the challenge of making YOU be a healthy YOU. Stage 3 is really so much better then stage 4 or 5. Be a healthy weight, control you blood pressure, be sure your sugar level is under control

Rocking Kidney Disease
I was diagnosed with FSGS when I was 18 years old. I was very lucky and didn’t have to start dialysis until I was 40 years old. I’ve been on dialysis for 6 months. I’ve been on the transplant list for 7 years, but wasn’t active because my kidneys were still holding on. I received several offers but declined

My Testimony
Hello all, I had been on dialysis for 6 1/2 years before being blessed with a Kidney Transplants on July 8, 2015. My kidneys shut down from FSGS which means that something inside my kidney attacked itself and caused them to shut down. This is how my doctors explained it to me. I have no history of diabetes

Just signed up! I'm hopeful I'll find information and support from other dialysis patients. I was diagnosed in 2015 with multiple myeloma, and within a few weeks I experienced kidney failure. My doctors were hopeful my dialysis might be temporary but two years later, I am still receiving treatment

He just received the Hero graft port last week and it has already stopped working. The surgeon said there is nothing else he can do. How do we find
