My thoughts are why do you feel like crap all the time, are you getting enough treatment and how well have you adjusted to the renal diet and med protocols?

Don't let her get you down.  She doesn't know the mortality stats of first year ESRD patient going on dialysis.  She doesn't really know dialysis.

Anyone who posts on facebook can read people's real names, but it should stay on facebook.

Newbie caretaker, so I may not know what I am talking about :)
Caretaker for my elderly father who has his first and current graft in March, 2010.
Previously in-center hemodialysis in national chain, now doing NxStage home dialysis training.
End of September 2010: after twelve days of training, we were asked to start dialyzing on our own at home, reluctantly, we agreed.
If you are on HD, did you know that Rapid fluid removal (UF = ultrafiltration) during dialysis is associated with cardiovascular morbidity?  http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=20596
We follow a modified version: UF limit = (weight in kg)  *  10 ml/kg/hr * (130 - age)/100

How do you know you are getting sufficient hemodialysis?  Know your HDP!  Scribner, B. H. and D. G. Oreopoulos (2002). "The Hemodialysis Product (HDP): A Better Index of Dialysis Adequacy than Kt/V." Dialysis & Transplantation 31(1).   http://www.therenalnetwork.org/qi/resources/HDP.pdf

Remember anyone can say pretty much anything on Facebook and on Message Boards.  Her outlook is sunshine and roses.  Let her have it. It is one opinion.

Yes, I read what she wrote on Facebook.  Again, what YOU wrote bothers me.  Why do you feel like crap all the time?  Is it mentally and physically?  Are you getting good dialysis?  How is your BP?  Are your phos and K+ levels in line?  Are you getting EPO and/or iron supplementation?  All of us have bad days.  However, those of us getting quality dialysis care have more good days than bad.

I agree with Chris that we ought not to be posting people's names here.  The post wasn't made here by the poster so I think we should leave things be.
