That was noxcat's experience too. She lost her kidneys due to diabetes. Her kidney function went from about 30% in December to zero percent in May. During the last few days, she knew she was having big problems, but kept waiting for the serious nausea that is supposed to be the big symptom. She didn't really experience that, but came pretty close to dying before her mother finally dragged her into the hospital and they got hemo-dialysis working. After the first round of hemo, she felt great.
She's been on PD for about eight or nine months, and two months ago had a stroke, seemingly from a clot related to the PD. The business of clearing a patient to receive, and a relative to donate takes a while. Hang in there.
