Living on dialysis
To all of the people on dialysis count Your Blessings. Without dialysis we all know what would happen. So instead of complaining, thank God for the miracle of dialysis, we wake up every day. When I wake up the first thing thank God for another day with my loved ones. This is the only organ disease

Pkd
Hi! My name is Gail. My mother was on dialysis for 16 years because of PKD. I myself was diagnosed with PKD in 06. I am terrified of dialysis btw, fortunately I didn't have to do dialysis. Then in 09 we discovered brain aneurysms due to PKD. Had my transplant in 2014, from a cadaver donor. Then a radical

Muscle Pain & Weakness
Hi, I've been on dialysis for a year now and on the whole apart from being incredibly boring and time consuming, its not too bad. My main problem seems to be generalised aching most of the time and I tend to get a dull pain just above the knees especially when going up and down stairs or getting out

First night APD
First night APD for husband last night. All was going well machine set up no problem but at the end of the initial drain the pain of that final suction was too painful to bare and he had to abort and go back to manual dialysis. Anyone else gone through this? Waiting for APD nurse to call us back.

Carpal tunnel syndrome?
Have any of you who have been on dialysis for 10yrs+ been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome? It's caused by amyloidosis apparently. My thumbs and fingers go numb frequently, for no apparent reason and with no particular way to relieve it. I'm having nerve conduction tests. I wondered, how was it

Confused about fluid restriction
Hi all hope you are all doing well My gfr is 7% and not on dialysis but have my fistula ready for action. For the last 15months I've been on fluid restriction of 1000mls and 160mg of diuretic. All was going well until the last 10 weeks and all I seem to do is gain fluid. Saw my consultant Wednesday
