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.

Transplant
Kidney function took a dive in June. Ended up on dialysis (peritoneal) and headed to transplant training class end of this month. Seems like a long road ahead, but I do have a live donor (if all goes well). My best to all.

My husband is new to dialysis. Ideas for my husbands food and what to eat at home or in restaurants.
I will Introduce myself a little later. But for now I desperately need help and what to fix for snacks and suppers for my husband.
