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.

Wondering about Social Life in HD Centers
Hi All! I am 64-year-old man with a long history of dealing with CKD and dialysis. I started doing peritoneal dialysis in 2005 and continued until I got a transplant in 2009. I think I was probably lucky that I didn't have to wait longer. My kidney has been holding up, but my eGFR has been hanging around

Parathyroid Surgery
Hello, My son has been on dialysis for five years after his transplant failed after three year. The doctor says he need parathyroid surgery to remove the glands that are malfunctioning. Has anyone had this surgery and be willing to share their experience?

Good morning Everyone, Due to my promise, I give you an outline of what happened earlier this week. On Monday I looked around at the Dialysis Unit. All were extremely kind and as far as I could judge during the short visit, the patients were very well looked after. This was far encouraging and

Waiting for a Donor
Hi everyone, Just found this site today. Been on dialysis for a year now and getting worse everyday. I am on 3 donor lists, but nothing yet. Being from a large family (5 siblings) you'd think one of them would be a match, but unfortunately none of them were for one reason or another. I am desperately
