This is so good of you Wagolyn and lizbee, I didnt realise there were still people able to post on rpv I thought it had all shut down ? I still check my results on there when the "big bloods " are taken every month. ...Jan I never did find out what your problem was Jbell with RVP you can ...

Hi Jbell I am sorry you are so having a bad time, I feel for you and know how much of a shock it would have been to hear that you would only survive 3 years on dialysis and as wagolyn says that is the norm for someone with all of your problems but like he also says the norm does not apply to us. I w...

Hi my name is Craig, I live in Airdrie, UK 23 Years Old. Was diagnosed with IGAn around 7 years ago. Over the last few years my GFR stayed around 50ish, apart from a time in 2012 when i had shinggles my GFR dropped to around 30. GFR was 48 as of around february 2014(this year) and has rapidly dropp...

I am doing 6 hours as it is more beneficial to me, being a larger lady the longer I can do on dialysis will be better for me. Yes it is 6 hours every session and its not so bad now I have gotten used to it, I do feel better for it too, so things are slowly getting better. I changed to nightshift in ...

Hi Jbell I was reading through and saw that wagolyn had started an RVP thread to see if anyone could help you out with something on there, I still use it and if you are still in need of some advice could you let me know what the problem seemed to be and if I can help I will ......hope all is well wi...

I use RVP and I will go and look at her post and see if I can help..............

Oh how wonderful for you both to be enjoying if that is the right word your lovely new babies...........good luck to all of you and take in every second if you can. they grow so fast. I enjoyed my son and then my grandsons and now looking forward thanks to dialysis one day becoming a great grandmoth...

I can see both sides of this debate, perhaps tibbs you were a little bit out saying you are new here and you will settle in, everyone is new at some point I was myself at one time, and was compared unfairly in a post to others who were very different from me at the time it opened up a can of worms a...

I too have a very low opinion of the nurses at my unit, like wagolyn said there are a couple who seem to know what they are doing and can answer questions fairly well, the rest of them are just in out of the cold as far as I am concerned. I get most of my answers now from other people at the unit wh...

HI everyone, once again I have been very quiet of late not posting much but reading all your posts whenever I can. I have once again been in trouble with dialysis and had another short stint in hospital. My graft got clogged up and they could not get the needles in for dialysis so I had to go into h...

Good to hear that you are feeling happy that's a positive sign long may it last for you, get out the red lippy girl specially on trips to the shops..........

so glad to hear that you are doing a bit better now and you have transferred to Perth although the transport seems to be a bit of a nightmare for you, I too get transport to and from dialysis but my unit uses cars which are driven by volunteers so I don.t have that bother of being in with other peop...

Thanks everyone for your good wishes, I am still not that great, I am so tired all the time and often fall asleep during the day as well as in the evening after I settle down and start to watch tv. I now record all the programmes I want to see as I never get through one in full.....lol.....but in co...
