Sorry, folks. Born in 1978. Yes, I'm very much not a typical kidney patient. Dialysis sucks, but it's better than my alternative.

Is there a cause of your kidney failure? Sorry if it's been addressed already.

I've had CKD, so they were damaged and weakened, but still functional. Double pneumonia last year knocked them out for good. Plan was to put me on dialysis for a month and let them rest and recover, but they didn't. So I was on hemodialysis for a few months, then switched to peritoneal dialysis in July. Been doing that for 10 hours a night since.

Oh ok. That's usually caused by high blood pressure and/or diabetes right? Do you have those under control a bit now or were they not the cause of it?

You can answer PM if you'd like or not at all. I hope everything goes well for you.

I don't recommend it. I spent 8 days in the hospital and lost 40 pounds - roughly 6L of it accumulated water from after my kidneys failed.

How often do you need dialysis?

I do peritoneal, so every night. 10 hours.

If I did hemo, it would be 4 hours, three times a week.

But hemo sucks ass, big time. Travel is much more difficult (and I still work, and travel for my job), but the physical effects are worse. I'd do a round of hemo and would feel exhausted for 24 hours, was usually kind of achy from it. And dietary restrictions are tougher.

Hence my zero star rating.

I mean, really... you get used to it. I've been doing PD since July of last year, and dialysis since April of last year. It pretty quickly just becomes part of your life. Mainly affects your social life.

My work had a "family night" Tuesday at the minor league baseball game. It's usually on a Friday; since it was on Tuesday, I couldn't go. If I get on my treatment late, I still have to get my 10 hours, so that means I get off late. I usually start getting hooked up around 7:30 p.m. every night, which means I get off around 5:45 a.m. the next morning. If I don't get on until 10 p.m., that means I can't get off until 8 a.m. And I still have to do my morning routine to get ready for work.

I have family coming down in July. That's going to suck, having to leave them in the living room while I go sit by myself in the bedroom.

Anything I do that gets me out of my schedule, I pay for the next morning. And I typically would rather spend time at night lying around vs. lying around in the morning. I'm an early riser, and once I'm awake, I want to get up get going.

But there are some benefits. I get to read more; and because I'm tied to my bedroom for 10+ hours a day, we upgraded the TV (actually, moved the living room TV to the bedroom and upgraded the living room TV). I have doctor and a nurse ready and willing to see me at a moment's notice, for anything. I'm on Medicare now, so anything my primary insurance doesn't cover, Medicare picks up.
