   i hear ya. I am on the stage 5..i recently got my fistula done on my left wrist and once this is heal (takes up to 6 weeks) once is healed then i will start Dialysis 3x a week for 4 hours. scared? I am pretty much but looking foward to it because i know i will feel much better though the thing i complain the most is the food diet. It sucks! no salt in my foods and no pizza (i love cheese) not having it makes me sad

   Have you been given the option of PD (peritoneal dialysis)?
   I have been on that for over a year now, I don’t think I could face haemo, I’m not good with needles and blood and things. Also I don’t have to restrict my diet very much, it’s well worth looking into, trust me! Good luck x

   I’ve been on hemo dialysis 2x and I’m on my second kidney transplant. I am susceptible to infections so both times I chose hemo. I understand the diet sucks! Just try like the dickens to NOT think about what you can’t have. It really does no service to all you have to contend with. Just think how bad the diet would be if you were diabetic? Anyway find things to make you laugh as often as you can! Very Very important!

   I was Stage 3/4 when I found out I had kidney disease. It took 3 years to reach Stage 5. I then went on APD for 2 1/2 years, then switched to haemo for 2 years. I had a transplant in June. I have had the best of both worlds in terms of dialysis.

    It saddens me to hear that so many of you struggle with CKD. My heart goes out to you, sincerely. Try to stay optimistic. Remember, research is ongoing and doctors are constantly looking for better treatments and cures. They are studying to learn new things about the renal system all the time. A major breakthrough could be just around the corner. Hang in there, you guys!

    I was diagnosed with stage 1 CKD before christmas. I have a history of renal reflux and had a bilateral ureter reimplantation at the age of 9, I then had a nephrectomy at 16. I’m 21 at the moment, the doctor says its only mild and that I shouldn’t be to worried any advice on keeping in stage 1?
