Peritineal Dialysis
I have been on PD for several months now, and I'm finding that no matter how tired I am, I'm given some new energy from starting my cycle, cant sleep through the night. Does anyone else experience anything like this. This started about 4 months into my dialysis, and occurs several nights. My treatment

How is your wellbeing fund?
Read more about it here - carve out some reflection time to consider the categories you are thriving in and those that need a bit more love. Change is always possible. So important to remind ourselves of that regularly especially against a backdrop of dialysis and all that comes with it. Enjoy! https

Can anyone make use of residue dialysis support materials?
I supported my son-in-law at our home during his dialysis. He's had his operation and is recovering. I now have plenty of his support fluids, needles etc at my home. Is there any organisation that will make use of the following, much of which is still sealed. 12 box SAK402; 1 box BD Plastipak; 2 box

Preparing for Fistula
I am a newbie to this site, and recently entered stage 5 kidney disease. I went from a GFR of 26 to 7 in 6 months. I am scheduled to have a 2-stage surgery to move a being close to an artery, to prepare for a fistula in just a few days. The reason for a two stage procedure? I have small veins, and

New Member Intro, Hello Y'all

My GFR was down to 22 but over 6 days it stabilized in the low 30s. I've been receiving treatment for over 2 years now and I've been relatively

Needing a miracle now!
Looking like my SLE is under control and going into remission for a 2nd time, no water tablets for 3.5 weeks all looking well and now I'm back on them at 2 per day sometimes 3 to control the water oedema. Kidney function is in decline still but just had another dose of Rituximab to help fight the lupus

Hello, intro
I just started PD and have been on dialysis for 5 months. I'm 56 and still working, bicycling and am involved with 2 volunteer fire companies. I'm trying to stay active and busy. Not really sure what to expect and will be getting an evaluation for transplant shortly.

Hi, haven’t been here much but
I thought it would share an update about my husband. On August 27th he decided he needed to go to the hospital. His belly was very large and swollen, his GI had told him to double his diuretics for a week but they weren’t doing a thing. He was in a lot of pain and started throwing up. I was worried about

Cramps
I have been on PD dialysis for eight months now and have acclimated to the daily challenges except for one: cramping. I get cramps in my feet, calves, thighs and abdomen. I'm careful with diet and water restrictions. Cramps come at night and in the morning, sometime mild, sometime quite severe.

PD Dialysis Question
Hi everyone. For those of you with PD experience, when you complete a treatment, does your machine show numbers in the negative? Meaning, it takes out the fluid you put in plus additional? How do you know for sure it is working?

Dialysis working too well, hard to find donor
Hi, I started dialysis (PD) a few months ago, trying very hard to have a sense of normalcy. The problem now is.. I look better with the PD (less tired and less foggyless).

What is it like after transplant?
Want to know from a psychological perspective, what is like to receive this new gift of life? - Do you worry about how long the kidney will last? Do you feel like there's limited time to do what you want in life? - If living donor, do you feel an emotional obligation to the donor? Or that you have to

So many dont even know this exists and it's the most amazing thing ever. I helped as a volunteer at both the British Transplant games in Newport in July and the World Transplant Games in Newcastle in August.
