Hi Are your dry weights fluxuating a lot. I found I was using to high a solution (sometimes 4 at night), and was drying myself out to much. I was always afraid to drink fluids and became obsesive in controling them to the point I was causing my own problems. I took 2 colace and 2 senikot twice a day...

Good morning I was reading your posts with interest. Everything I have been taught is the better the match, the better and quicker you will feel better, plus less potential rejection problems down the road. Have you talked to your transplant clinic regarding your donor matching with someone else, an...

Hi Pam Don't fight it if it is neccessary. I see so many people put it off until they are really sick, and then it takes so much more and is much harder to get yourself back to where you should be. Everyone has little glitches getting started, but that's because everyone is different. I started at 1...

Hi I was on PD for a few years before before hemo. I found things worked better if you planned times. Sometimes it was uncomfortable with a large belly full of fluid. I don't expect it would be much different than being pregnant. What we did was when I had drained, I would just leave a small amount ...

Hi My arm graft has failed, and I now am back to a perm cath for a while. The neph wants to put a graft in my leg as I have so many problems with steal syndrome in my hands.

I can sumwhat empatize with your brother. I went through the same type of situation. I was on PD and suffered a major infection, which went into my brain as well as everywhere else, and spent 3 months hospitalized. At that time I refused treatment, and was prepared to die. My wife stepped in, had me...

Hi I believe this is a good idea. I have done this to family and friends, however, because of a rare type of cancer, I am not able to have a transplant. I did find, however, the healthier you look, the less response you get. I believe the more you can lay out as to what your son will face as the dis...
