Introduction
My name is Riley and I have had two kidney transplants and also been on
dialysis
. My first transplant was in 2015 from my mom, but it failed because there was an extra artery the doctors didn’t know about. For 6 months i did parentiantal
dialysis
at home.

Let Me Introduce Myself
While I was first in the hospital I was suppose to be scheduled for a surgery to get my catheter for peritoneal
dialysis
but when I was admitted my blood pressure was to high, the doctors had to do emergency hemodialysis to stabilize it.

Blessed
I was on
dialysis
for 8 yrs which wasn’t the best thing I ever had to do but it keep me alive & it taught me a lot. Now my dad is on
dialysis
so with the experience I had I’m able to explain and try to make things seem a little easier.

Transitions and coping
I'm also at a point where I might need
dialysis
, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get a donor in time. How have you all coped with this transition? I know that having CKD my entire life doesn't help, since I don't know a life without it.

Uk waiting list.
Hey, Just a quick question, I had a failed kidney transplant a few weeks ago from my dad, the kidney didn't even last a day so now I'm back on
dialysis
. I had three major surgeries and all though physically fine now, my mind is trashed.

New kidney precipitant - 4 months post
I was fortunate enough to skip
dialysis
and go straight to transplant. I know it takes at least 6 months to level out all my meds, but I'm just having a hard time dealing with it all. It's very overwhelming at times and I'm looking to connecting with anyone who has been been there.

This is me !!
However, the bottom line is
dialysis
. My friend has very low GFR under 10 for a few years now, she is still not on
dialysis
. There is so many illnesses out there that is so worse then
dialysis
. Take control become a healthy YOU. I know that saying stop worrying is something none of us can do.

Introduction
I was on
dialysis
for ten years prior to receiving a kidney transplant. I was 15 years old when I was diagnosed with Glomerulonephritis. I did not start
dialysis
treatments till I was in my early forties.I am so very thankful for this healthy kidney. I am going back to school now.

Blessed to be a living donor!
I also happen to be a
dialysis
dietitian here in the Milwaukee area. Working with this special patient population is what inspired me to jump in and do this. It feels great to have helped someone get off
dialysis
.

My Testimony
I have no history of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol which is why I was shocked to find out at the age of 27 I was going on
dialysis
. While on
dialysis
I continued to work full-time while doing my treatments at 5am before going to work.

Rocking Kidney Disease
I was very lucky and didn’t have to start
dialysis
until I was 40 years old. I’ve been on
dialysis
for 6 months. I’ve been on the transplant list for 7 years, but wasn’t active because my kidneys were still holding on. I received several offers but declined because they weren’t good matches.

Dilemma
dialysis
2 ) but would not want to upset my new liver- my age is a little against me as I am now 68 but am told it is possible but would be a bit more risky.

Family Were Affected By Kidney Disease!
My Mother was on
dialysis
for 35 years until her death. My Sister and I never imagine that we would have Kidney disease. My Sister had a Kidney transplant in 2007 and I had a kidney transplant in 2013. I thank God that my Sister and Me are doing great. Thanks
