Open Question: chest pains? I’m only 15 yrs old..?

January 8th, 2009 | by admin | Open Question: Is anyone out there that has to do peritoneal dialysis ? ?
My son lost his kidneys in 2007 due to a rare cancer. The cancer is almost undetectable at this time and is in remission . He does PD at home. One day bag around noon and then hooks up to the machine at night. He suffers from migrains so bad that he throws up until you’d think his insides would come out next . He can’t sleep at night to good , maybe due to the feeling being on the machine has . They now tell him he has diabetes. He is only 34.
I would like to hear from other PD patients and what side effects you have and what you do to help make it better. He had nine operations in three months for different complications , in the beganing . It was pretty rough going and he even die for six minutes during one of the surgeries
I live in California and he lives is Texas. I go out there as much as possibe and stay a month each time I go. My heart is broken for him. I worry , I pray , then cry for him . I can only imagin what its like for him to be stricken with these diseases knowing there isnt much hope for the future getting any better . Because of the cancer , a kidney transplant may never happen. Please share your PD treatment with me. I feel at a loss to help him.
Thank You and God bless.

Open Question: chest pains? I’m only 15 yrs old..?
I have a history of heart problems.. um a heart murmur I think. I used to
go to a heart doctor once a year when I was little because my chest was really sunk in, they said i’d grow out of it, and it isn’t that bad now but it’s still not completely normal. I haven’t had any pains in my chest
for months, and now I just got one. It’s usually at night time..i’m really worrying about this do you think it’s anxiety? because when I get my mind off of it, it goes away. Most detailed answer gets 10 points. thanks! (:
