Any caregivers out there?
Hi I'm new here and I am the caregiver of a new hemodialysis patient. Are there any groups for caregivers? My husband was gifted a kidney in 2012 by a friend and former co-worker of mine. From the beginning there was a problem with too much protein. Nothing the doctors did could help and he now at

First 6 months on pd dialysis
I just hit my first 6 months on pd dialysis. I am still working as a car salesman long hrs on my feet. I'm not sure how much longer I can do this I'm exhausted all the time. I can't sleep the cycler wakes me up every time I drain and fill. I have been working 10-12 hr days with only 4-5 hrs sleep.
