I was just wondering, I have been having frequent headaches for the last 3-4 weeks. They are not usually really bad, it just throbs a bit. My BP is great I always thought the headaches that come with Kidney failure were from high bp. Has anyone else had headaches without high bp or is it just me?

Pre-PD, I used to have constant low grade dull headaches.  Pre-kidney disease I could probably count the headaches I had on one hand, and they were so mild that one paracetamol could fix the strongest ones.  My pre-PD headaches could usually be fixed for an hour or two by a short snooze - thank heavens for retirement.

I have never had any problems with BP. It's generally between 100 and 115 over something or other.

I've had only one headache;  it has lasted for 14 months now.  I take a Norco once a day for it. That helps my knees, doesn't touch my headache.  I am told the cause is from my macular degeneration, not my kidney problems.  I know this is not the answer to your question, but, if you have any other problems, let me know - I have everything.
