Hello Everyone,

I've been lurking around for awhile and I finally posted a question concerning nausea under home dialysis. 

So here is my story:

My kidney failure is due to having lupus for over 35 years.  My kidneys finally failed me in November 2005.  I had a hard time excepting it (even now).  I suffered and endured all my other problems with my lupus but the kidney failure almost broke me.  The only good part is that I still have some function to my kidney so I am able to do dialysis every other night.   I am on the transplant list and I hope to get a kidney soon (before the lupus kills the rest of my body.)

I don't know if this will help or not, but I was just reading about "hard water" in home dialysis causing nausea, because magnesium is not removed from the water. Here is the link to the article...

Sorry that you have to go through this crap. I am glad you joined the group. This is an extremely supportive group. I am only a caregiver, but I am sure others have nausea remedies.

Peace, happiness and one healthy kidney for everyone! :flower;

Please post often and check out some of the older threads as there is lots of good stuff in them. You should see if your weight has changed or your kidney function has declined more. hope you get it figured out.  :cuddle;
