GFR has been 14-16 for over a year. I get very tired. Everything is an effort. Bad leg cramps (due to lack of potassium and calcium) but….I am still able to play a little golf, swim and live my life. Will fight the dialysis as long as i possibly can 😉

I also get excruciating muscle cramps. I get some relief from rubbing Bio Freeze on the cramp.

I watched a YouTube video posted by someone using home dialysis twice a day. I couldn't believe what she has to go through. For sure, I would not do it at home besides, I live alone. No help if I needed it.
