New consultant
After all these years seeing my Lupus consultant I will see a kidney consultant on Thursday for the 1st time since starting
dialysis
. It'll be weird seeing someone else and talking predominantly about something else from now on rather than just how the lupus is doing.

Scheduling a life around
dialysis
3X per week sucks. But it's better than the alternative.

My dad has CKD stage 4.
I’d just like to hear about other people’s experience with stage 4 KD and also any information you have on
dialysis
. I’ve read some things that say life expectancy isn’t good once starting
dialysis
and some things state that people can live upto 30 years.

Keep moving and gaining strength on dialysis
I filmed it about a year ago when I was about 2 and half years on peritoneal
dialysis
so with abdominal catheter etc. So be inspired and hopeful that the body and mind is so strong - we just need to harness that! It is within us all to awaken our inner physician.

Alternating between wanting to scream and shout and wanting to curl up in a corner and bawl my eyes out
point at an autoimmune disorder, Lupus is the winner in that category, but they are unsure as to how it will develop in me as my blood results are "unclear" He has said that I should consider going on Methotrexate to help with joint pain, which is not severe at the moment, and that my future may hold

I'm new here
I'm nearing renal failure again & have no wish to restart
dialysis
. The few loved ones that I've told did not take it well & I'm feeling a bit selfish. I can't seem to find the right way to explain that this is my choice while trying to also comfort them. Any one have any words of wisdom?

Dad had Cardiac arrest with Hypoxia
The first day with my dad being in ICU they stabilized his Blood pressure, started
dialysis
, put him on ventilator in which he was breathing over the ventilator, sedated him heavily And started hypothermia treatment. After two days my dad had an MRI done and we met with the neurologist.

How Do I Handle My Severe Stress?
My husband has diabetes and kidney disease with projected
dialysis
beginning in 2 to 4 years. He's been on a low carb diet, lost a lot of weight, reduced his insulin significantly, when suddenly, almost overnight, his creatinine levels went bad.

LIVING WELL WITH DIALYSIS
Now and starting in October 2019, I have not skipped even once my
dialysis
and did not short any of my
dialysis
treatments and have been always staying the full 4 hours treatments! I can not describe enough how, going to
dialysis
and getting full treatments, have made in my life!

Nephrotic Syndrome
Following two Rituximab infusions, I am on
dialysis
since 8 months. My albumin has improved. Can I come off
dialysis
if the neprotic syndrome improves? I am not diabetic and continue to pass urine. Thanks in anticipation for your input/advise.

Fibro referrals
Put on meds which subsequently made me very poorly, ended up in renal failure and was moved to a hospital out of area with a renal team and
dialysis
unit. Was then referred to their rheumatologists in case it happened again.
