    Give renalwife a hug



    • Hug

      From RustyJoe September 3

      Thank you. I'm in such a quandry. My doctor says I'm a good candidate for PD but my house is always dusty, and I have little room for supplies. Compound that with a brother-in-law on dyalisis who swears by HD. I'm more confused as to which way to go.

    • Close Dementia

      Husband is 90, going on 91, has dementia and is an alcholic.

    • Close Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
      Type: B-cell

      I have CLL. I also have chronic kidney failure, not connedted to the CLL.

    • Open Dialysis

      I have CKD stage 4. Really no symptoms except for itching and fatigue. I had acute renal failure a couple of weeks ago from a reaction to ACE inhibitors. My GFR went down to 2..the creatinine was 37. Was in ICU for a week and hospitalized for two weeks. My kidneys recovered to 19%. I went to a dialysis class and also have joined NKF. If I ever need dialysis, I think that home hemo would be my choice. I got my kidney failure because of low blood pressure.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I started with 'panic attacks' then developed depression. I over-dosed two times.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Tried to stop EffexorXR but the side effects were too bad so I have continued taking it.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Worked well with the panic attacks. No side effects at all.
