Dialysis Schedule and Work Conflict

Enjoy while you still can pee cause will stop soon, also Is difficult to avoid the 3 days treatment and 4 hours par day, the only thing that can improve is the dayli time maybe to 3.30 or 3 but that is something that your labs will decide. In the meantime: Welcome to the club !! You are not alone !

Hi herc22, I’m so sorry for all your issues. Mine are quite similar…high blood pressure with Crohn’s disease caused one kidney to fail, now with a single kidney they’ve put me on meds to lower Uric Acid & treat Gout. I’m on 2 BP meds and trying to lose weight too. Which meds were you on that damaged your kidneys…it’s a concern of mine and want to avoid the worst. Thank you!!

I did hemo dialysis but switched to peritoneal dialysis. It's going much better in every way possible you might want to ask about peritoneal dialysis and see if its a better match although if you like to stay out late it might not be the best fit

you are definitely not going too many days. think of it this way, a normal kidney works 24/7, so those hours you are getting dialysis is the most your kidneys are getting normal function. maybe you could try and split up days and do fewer hours to help with your work schedule? or even switch to home hemo so you can do your treatments on your own time

yes the doctor recommended but my doctors are the reasons my kidneys are damaged by over medicating me. They couldn't figure how to lower my blood pressure. I changed my diet and exercises. The more the doctors couldn't figure out my high blood pressure issue they gave me more and more poisonous pharmaceutical drugs.

And neither do I.
