Post by: joda on April 13, 2009, 01:46:08 PM: :pics; Hello Everyone:)

I'm new here just reading some of your post was interested too talk too the person who was talking about you don't die from dialysis!! I don't agree when a love one's blood pressure is constantly not watched at I walk in and it's dropped too 48/24 I'm sorry but that's negligences in my books!!!

What's your opinions?? :grouphug; The only way that I have survived is turn my life over too MY Lord because no one else is going too do it for me. In fact some family members are saying that I didn't do enough!!! I'm trying really hard to forgive them!!

Just curious what do you all think of all this? joda

I take it you are on incenter Hemo if you are frustrated with the Idiots that work there! Do you live in the U.S.? Oh, I read your post again.... maybe you have a loved one on dialysis... who would that be?

I agree with your frustration. Just take some time and read some of the posts here to KNOW that we understand and you will learn lots. AND maybe laugh again......

God is the only way I survive... knowing there is a better place waiting for me.

I am the caregiver of 14 year old daughter on dialysis and several times her bp dropped too low on dialysis and she passed out. It can be a very scary situation. There are alot of supportive people here with lots of great information. Please share your experiences as we all gain from hearing what others are experiencing.

Thanks for joining the group. :grouphug;

Post by: RichardMEL on April 14, 2009, 11:12:40 PM: I think if the BP is that low there may be an issue with the dry weight not being calculated properly and too much fluid has been taken off - or it could be any number of things. This clearly needs to be taken up with whose giving the dialysis and/or the nephrologist. It's certainly something that shouldn't be put up with because that is extremely low. I know in our center they wouldn't let anyone go anywhere with that sort of BP!!!
