Hello All
I'm age 64, never done a social media, and have stage 4 CKD. Thankfully I'm not on any dialysis yet. I'm hoping I can avoid it with diet. Looking forward to chatting with the group.

Diabetes and dialysis
I am having a lot of trouble keeping my sugars in control since I started dialysis 4 months ago. I am hungry all the time so I am eating too much. My kidney doctor says its good to eat when you are on dialysis. The dietician at the center isn't concerned at all with my sugars. I have issues with eating

Praulent Injections for Familial hyperlipidemia
Hi I've been on statins for nearly 20yrs without much success. My consultant has recently put me on the bi monthly injections of Praulent 10mg, plus 2 other statins. My 21 yr old daughter has a dominant gene from me and a recessive gene from her dad and consequently her lipid levels are sky high. She's

Dialysis Question
Is it possible to be on dialysis at 50% ? I have a friend telling me I should have been on it already.

Hi!
My name is Shana. I've been on dialysis since May 2014 - three days a week for 3 hours. I'm blessed to still be able to work FT, but I'm not feeling very supported at my new job. I'm hoping to get to know some of you all and add to my support network and be there to support you! 😊

What is the truth about Dialysis?
What is the truth about dialysis? My mom is in the position of deciding whether or not its time to go on it. Of course she is prolonging it as long as possible, but has settled on the Home Dialysis (Peritoneal Dialysis) if it is indeed that time. Plus, we hear its not as tiring. She still urinates regularly

You have to be In perfect health to get on the kidney list?
Hi, my name is Debi. I just signed up here. I have been on dialysis for about 5 years. I wanted to get on the waiting list for a kidney and I was told that I couldn't because I have other things wrong with me. I have COPD. So, do you Really have to be in perfect health other than kidney disease

Living on dialysis
I'm 49 years old and have been on hemodialysis for 6 years as a result of a birth defect. I'm not diabetic nor do I have high blood pressure. I just got a new AV Fistula after my first one got too big. I'm on for 5 hours, 3 days a week and drive myself back & forth to the kidney center unless I'm

Hello I'm New
Hi, I am new to the site. My name is Jolene. I have had declining kidney health since 2010. I started dialysis in May 2014. I was very non-compliant in the beginning, but have since learned that my health is not a game, and I feel better when I do. I started out on hemodialysis, and then tried peritoneal

My profile
I have been on dialysis since January of 2016. I didn't realize when I first went on how much better I would feel as a result. I go for 3 days a week for four hours each. I'm hoping that at some point they can reduce the length of time and/or the days I go.
