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

Urination
I was urinating for last 3 years on in center dialysis. Now I have stopped urinating. I had been taking lasix but dr took me off. Has anyone stopped and then restarted urinating ?

Itching fistula
I have been on dialysis for about 4 years this time (I had a transplant that failed after 11 years) and my fistula itches like crazy. Anyone have this same problem and/or a solution?

Pregnancy after Transplants
Good morning all, has anyone had a baby after receiving their new Kidney? If so, did they consider you high risk, were you out in bed rest at anytime, etc. My husband and I were blessed to have our first child while on dialysis. They put me on bed rest in the hospital at 23 weeks until she was born.
