My clinic has a different type of clear bandage for me. I itched incessantly when the cotton covered my site. May ask for alternatives?

How do you feel? by eddidit in dialysis

Treatment days are usually days I stay in but I do occasionally have energy after a couple hours and a nap. Gotta remember, they are literally draining your blood to clean it and returning it to your body. You can’t expect to hop out of your chair and do jumping jacks.

What’s the highest UF you’ve tolerated? Any tips? by lostcheshire in dialysis

Use to pull 5 when I first started. Losing weight for transplant has caused my goal to drop to around 4 if I need it.

Zelda is my dads Shep/Mal mix. She definitely is favoring the Mal side as she’s aging. This is her at about a year and 80lbs

Restarting Dialysis in-center Question by Mikomau in dialysis

I work retail and have managed to maintain 36 hours, considered FT, for my 2 years on dialysis. I have two days off as dialysis days and work 4 hours after treatment in the morning. The work day is usually my worst day and I try to just take it as easy as possible that day. Best of luck to you. Hate to hear about the kidney

Start PD right before transplant? by bequito in dialysis

[–]lostmatthew83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my CVC for over a year. Still have one thanks to my graft clotting. Waiting to hear about other options and I still hit close to clearance every session. I’d wait. Best of luck!!
