Support for a Type 1 Diabetic - multiple issues
He is on home
dialysis
. Still is in process of getting on a list - he has amputations of toes whereby wounds are not healing well. He experiences severe afib. Low protein count is issue as well. Anyone experience something similar to be able to overcome to get on kidney transplant list?

Living with CKD
For the last 6 months I have been doing nocturnal
dialysis
at home every other day, have just this week changed to 3 nocturnal sessions and two 3 hours evening sessions. This is giving me around 400 litres of clearance per week which as my consultant tells me is as effective as a transplant.

GFR
He was diagnosed after me and his GFR was actually higher then mine before it bottomed out and he was placed on
dialysis
, then passed away. My last GFR, this month was 34, the highest it has ever been since 2011 when I first became ill but wasn't diagnosed.

It's official! Update on transplant!
Despite only being on
dialysis
for 11 months, it's been quite the rollercoaster and there were a few times we had to ponder the possibility of me going back to hemo from PD.

Excited to have found support!
It is so hard to see him go thru
dialysis
among everything else he has had to go thru. He is strong and handling it better than I am. I know it's not about me, but would love to hear from other parents who have children or young adults going thru this.

I’m new
Do you think the doctor will recommend
dialysis
or hospice? I know no one here is a doctor but I’m struggling right now.

Introduction!
I I was on
dialysis
(hemodialysis and peritoneal
dialysis
) briefly before my first transplant four months later. Four months after that, my transplanted kidney was removed because of a neurofibroma growing on it. I was back on
dialysis
for another year, waiting for a kidney.

Pain, pain go away!
I go to
dialysis
3 times a week for 3-4 hours or so. Then I had a pneumonia shot making it even worse. I'm in so much pain both arms. Sometimes I'm thinking how long I could still hold on this challenging trials on me? Its too much just thinking about it within my age, I'm on my late 30's.

Can you get dialysis with no money
I am get very close to the stage where I will need
dialysis
. I am about to lose my job and insurance. Will I be able to have
dialysis
when I have no way to pay for it or do I just have to slowly die. Don’t mean to sound morbid but I really would like to know what happens to people like me. Thanks

PD Catheter
Any advice on coping with Peritoneal
Dialysis
would be appreciated. Interested in whether I may feel 'healthier', or whether there is no real change.
