Dialysis Support Group
Dialysis is a type of renal replacement therapy which is used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function due to renal failure. It is a life support treatment and does not treat any kidney diseases. Dialysis may be used for very sick patients who have suddenly lost their kidney function or for quite stable patients who have permanently lost their kidney...
My kidney doctor had to take me off of Sensipar because it making me to nauseous. He had me up to taking 60mg but, it's not going to do anything if it making me nauseous. He said alot of dialysis patients get GI problems from taking Sensipar and upset stomach. He told me there is surgery to help with this problem but, because of my heart problems he didn't think it was such a good idea. He said it was my choice though. I just don't know what to do. He said there isn't any other medication out there for there problem. I am on a tranplant list and now my doctor is making me feel like I don't even know if I could have a tranplant because of my polmonary edema and conjestive heart failer problems. :(

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips.

As for the transplant you'll have to weigh the costs of the operation which could be you dying on the table.
I can relate to nausia.

cathipurple I am on a kidney tranplant list at UC Med Center in San Fransico. I been waiting on a list for about almost four and half years. I hear the wait with my O possive blood type is six to six and half years depending on donor aviablity.
