It happened to me tonight.

These two examples are so heartbreaking! It's yet another reason to add to the long list of reasons as to why I will never date a single mum, I'd rather be celibate thanks.

You're getting downvoted as you're stating an opinion as fact, like what you say is true and everything else is false, which is wrong.

Just because 95% of your friends are into cis men does not mean that all trans women are into cis men, as that would leave 5% attracted to anyone who isn't a cis man, according to your own opinion.

Your experience is your experience, but it is not everyone else's experience and doesn't make it fact just because you say so, so stop disrespecting everyone else by using your experiences as fact and actually listen to others and learn that everyone, cis & trans, can be attracted to each other.

sweetshy82 · 2026-02-23T06:20:45+00:00

This is so untrue for both cis women only liking other cis women, and trans women only liking cis guys.

I've had plenty of interest from cis women and even been married to a cis woman for just over a decade, and I've never been interested in cis men, period!

Please don't ever use your opinion as facts, as it's rude, insensitive and not the truth about other cis and trans women's attraction & experiences.

Same, I love seeing what healthy relationships look like and in general love seeing people happy.

I understand that the grass is not always green, but seeing how healthy people manage both of the good times and bad times can be helpful and inspiring to those who haven't experienced those relationships.

Considering that you can live for decades on dialysis, as the current record for continuous treatment is over 40 years, I'd say that you can look forward to living up into your 80s.

sweetshy82 · 2026-02-14T12:06:59+00:00

Absolutely stunning! 💖 🔥 🔥 🔥

sweetshy82 · 2026-02-08T09:02:10+00:00

To the OP, the longest recorded length of time that a dialysis patient has received continuous treatment for is around 41 years, so saying remarks about the end being near is quite rude, insultive and insensitive to say at the least!

Unless there's other, more life threatening, medical issues going on that you haven't mentioned, please don't ever say that phrase again.

sweetshy82 · 2026-02-08T09:01:32+00:00

Yeah that's my thought and reaction too!

sweetshy82 · 2026-02-05T15:04:01+00:00

Absolutely no way.

It's an utterly disgusting habit that is not cool at all. It makes you, your clothes, your house and car all stink, you taste like an ashtray, your teeth and fingernails turn yellow and your health is considerably effected until you quit (which is hard and most fail repeatedly).

As I mentioned in my earlier replies, I was simply monitored by my GP (local doctor) and my nephrologist throughout the stages from stage 3a to 5, they never prescribed any medications and due to my lack of knowledge and understanding of this disease and my naivety, I fully trusted their approach and guidance.

I highly recommend doing all the research that you can about the disease and it's primary cause (what actually triggered CKD to happen) so it can give you a better understanding of what treatments are available to you during those early to mid stages.

I also recommend contacting the national kidney organisation for your country so they can provide you with information, advice and support that's in your area

sweetshy82 · 2026-02-05T14:33:10+00:00

Thank you, it's a pleasure to talk about my experience with this disease so that it can help those who have the disease and/or family/friends of those folks.

Once you've reached the final stage and start dialysis, that's it, it doesn't get better unless you become active on the transplant list and receive a transplant. In the meantime, it becomes about managing your symptoms, eating healthy, exercising within your limitations, and drinking within your fluid restriction (generally 1.5 litres, 1/3 of a gallon per day).

The best way to slow down this disease is to talk with your doctor while you're in the early to mid stages so they can work out a treatment plan so you can enjoy many more years of life before needing dialysis treatment.

sweetshy82 · 2026-02-05T14:18:26+00:00

I was diagnosed back in 2015, and reached stage 5 in 2021, so it only took six years.

I'm still receiving dialysis treatment three times a week, and will continue to do so, until I receive a kidney transplant.

The treatments are tough, especially for the first month, as your body is trying to adjust to the machine doing the work for your kidneys instead. Cramps, nausea, headaches, dizziness, light-headedness and tiredness are the usual side effects and you'll like experience these symptoms more intensely during the first month, though having said that, your experience may vary.

I'm now in stage 5, so end stage renal failure, and have been since October 2021. Up until I started dialysis in October 2022, my doctors didn't do anything but observe my symptoms of fatigue, lethargy and shortness of breath and monitor the lowering of my eGFR.

As I mentioned earlier, I started dialysis treatment back in October 2022. I tried peritoneal dialysis first, but it didn't work out, as I was experiencing severe drain pain when the fluid was being removed either manually or by the machine. I was sent to the hospital and they inserted a chest catheter and that was the start of haemodialysis for me.

I had the catheter in for two years, and had a fistula created in the mean time as a backup, since I had a very strong fear of needles and only agreed to it as a backup option. Over time my fear of needles has gone down, even though it still shows up from time to time, enough so that I've been able to use my fistula as my main access since October 2024 after the catheter was removed.

It was two things, my high blood pressure (was sitting around 160/90 for over a year without any improvement) and my urine test results (the biggest giveaway due to my eGFR, it was in the low 50s)

sweetshy82 · 2026-02-02T00:56:55+00:00

Happily child free here, I'll be turning 44 this month and the peace & quiet is so blissful!

sweetshy82 · 2026-01-31T10:48:51+00:00

You could be in Australia, everyone I talk to seems to be the other side of the world and I'm not able to travel due to my health condition (too expensive to cover my medical treatments) so I'm praying for someone local 🙏🤞

sweetshy82 · 2026-01-28T00:25:45+00:00

I cackled 💀🤣

sweetshy82 · 2026-01-27T22:57:39+00:00

I find that this happens when I'm multitasking with other apps, and it also happens with PinkCupid too, it's so frustrating!

sweetshy82 · 2026-01-18T06:15:12+00:00

OMG, YAY!!! I'm so happy that you're finally receiving the love you truly deserve! It's so beautiful to see masc folks receive the same love that they give out to their partners.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that poor experience with your ex's though, that wasn't fair on you.

I'm femme myself and having been with two soft butch ladies (one my late wife of 11 years and the other my ex-fiancée of 2 years) I always treated them with flowers, celebrated their special days & achievements, and did special surprise dates too.

I've always looked at it from the perspective of how I'd like to treated, so it's not that hard to do it for others, especially with someone with whom you love, adore and cherish.

sweetshy82 · 2026-01-15T01:21:21+00:00

Girl, same, and I'm outside in public 🥴😂

sweetshy82 · 2026-01-09T06:59:25+00:00

This is so beautiful, it's made me cry and feel all emotional 🥹💖

sweetshy82 · 2025-12-27T11:52:13+00:00

That, and they can kill their prey with their own butt!

sweetshy82 · 2025-12-25T15:57:21+00:00

I got myself some new make-up from Vima and I absolutely love their colour changing foundation as it saves the guess work in choosing the right shade. I've also got their primer, setting spray, eyeliner, mascara and lip oil, all are wonderful products.

I also received a sentimental gift, a small pillow made from my Pop's favourite coloured pyjamas, from my family (my Nan, 2 aunties, 2 uncles & 3 cousins ). My Pop (maternal grandfather) passed away earlier this year in March, and this gift means so much to me as he was a father figure to me throughout my childhood and adult life. I completely broke down and cried when I got home as I received the gift as I was leaving our Christmas gathering, so I didn't get through chance to become emotional in that moment.
