  1. June 18 marks 3 years on dialysis while waiting for a kidney transplant. Dialysis keeps me alive, but it isn’t a cure, and I’m still hoping for a donor.

    If you’d like to learn more about my story or kidney donation through the National Kidney Registry, please visit and share:

  2. Update: My kidney has failed. I am now on dialysis.

    Dialysis is an exhausting, odd thing. I spend so much time on just keeping my body alive, when I am not all that thrilled with existence in the first place.

  4. Hallo Dialysebubble!
    Frage: Hat ausser mir noch jemand das Problem mit Urämischem Pruritus? Und falls ja, habt ihr was brauchbares dagegen? Ich creme mir hier seit Ewigkeiten nen Wolf, aber nichts bessert sich. 😫
    Ich bin für jeden hilfreichen Tipp dankbar.

  6. Recently, I saw a nice infographic showing the existing therapeutic interventions that have been proven to lower hard endpoint in #dialysis.
    Amongst them were FishOil and HDF - but I fail to remember who posted it and thus am unable find this beautiful infographic!

    Can you help the desperate me, @hswapnil @ChristosArgyrop

  7. Nearly half of kidney patients dead as closure of Rafah crossing blocks treatment

    There are only 34 dialysis machines serving about 750 kidney failure patients.

    The closure has led to the deaths of more than 1,000 patients and wounded individuals awaiting treatment abroad, while nearly 20,000 others remain in urgent need of medical evacuation.

  16. “Weapons of Health Destruction...” How Colonialism Created the Modern Native American Diet

    The Impact of Systematic Oppression on Indigenous Cuisine in the United States

    #Frybread, sometimes called “#DieBread” or a “weapon of health destruction,” has multiple origin stories, and they all involve oppression and perseverance.

    by Andrea Freeman, July 24, 2024

    Excerpt: "On the hit television show #ReservationDogs, the only series ever to feature all #Indigenous writers, directors, and main cast members, the Indian Health Center invites rapper Punkin’ Lusty, played by real-life #Mvskoke rapper #StenJoddi, to perform his hit song '#GreasyFrybread.' [A song Dr. Lowry played during today's broadcast.] The occasion is #Diabetes Awareness Month. Lusty raps,

    Baby girl looking deadly (Yeah!)
    Why she acting all Rezzy (Yeah!)
    Hotter than a pan of frybread grease!
    Have a Native hittin’ Powwow Beats!
    Gotcha Auntie in the kitchen
    Like no he didn’t
    Got her Gramama’s skillet
    Like she ’bout to kill it!

    The song solidly locates frybread within Indigenous culture.

    Sofkee [a corn drink or soup] on the burner
    Hokte Hokte [woman] head turner
    Water baking powder
    Choppin’ up that white stuff
    All purpose flour
    Gotta mix it right up
    Hit the Rez with the Shits
    They eats it right up! Watch the grease pop
    Watch her waist drop
    She got that blue bird bag [Blue Bird flour comes in a twenty-pound cloth bag and claims to be “The Native American Frybread Secret”]
    In her tank top
    he got that white powder
    All over everything
    She gettin’ to bussin’ man
    But we ain’t cousins man!
    We from the same tribe
    But a different clan
    She my Rez Bunny
    And I’m her Red Man
    She love my Tattoos
    And my two braids
    Frybread money at the Creek Fest get paid! On that!”

    Foregrounding this song in the Health Center’s battle against diabetes underscores the other side of frybread’s legacy, also emblazoned on a T-shirt that announces 'Frybread: Creating #Obesity Since 1860.' #Cheyenne and #HudulgeeMuscogee #IndigenousRights activist #SuzanShownHarjo, who vowed to give up frybread as a New Year’s resolution, explains, 'Frybread is emblematic of the #LongTrails from home and freedom to confinement and #rations. It’s the connecting dot between healthy children and obesity, #hypertension, diabetes, #dialysis, #blindness, #amputations and #SlowDeath.' Reflecting on stereotypes that dehumanized Indigenous people to justify #colonization, such as the worn-out trope of Indians drinking 'firewater,' Harjo asserts that frybread love is another way to portray them as 'simple-minded people who salute the little grease bread and get misty-eyed about it.'

    "In The #HeartbeatOfWoundedKnee, scholar #DavidTreuer introduces health educator #ChelseyLuger, who is #Ojibwe and #Lakota. Chelsey talks to Indigenous communities about the perils of frybread as part of her efforts to steer their diets in new directions, even in the face of limited food options. 'Sometimes people get defensive, but we are able to make the conversation positive. We say we grew up with it and like it and we say frybread is not power. We say frybread kills our people. It’s that serious. It causes diabetes and heart disease. We have to look at those colonial foods as a kind of enemy.' "

  18. It would be interesting to see how far UVC works in #dialysis units since infections are common cause of morbidity and mortality. Will there also be a favorable impact on cardiovascular disease since it follows inflammation ? Fx size most likely to be similar to what the staff experienced though.

  19. The dialysis department of Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital has been forced to stop its services to critical kidney patients due to lack of fuel as a result of Israel’s blockade.

    Dude, AoC is pretty amazing stuff. Don't be disappointed in yourself, it's a *learning process!!!* <3

    I'm doin' decent. Picked up my mom from , been doing paperwork and some accounting stuff.

    Moved my to my place yesterday. Looking forward to getting it tuned in a month and starting to learn again (before then, because it doesn't need to be in perfect tune for where my skills are right now, lol)

  25. First in a series of ponies that are based on the people I interact with regularly at dialysis! This is the ponification of my friend Rachael, my incredibly kind but sarcastic and acerbic neighbor. I spend 4 hours every other day with this woman, thankfully I really like her lol.

  31. CW: Discussion of chronic disease

    Tuesday I go into hospital to have a catheter fitted into my abdomen for home peritoneal dialysis.

    My last couple of blood tests have been the worst ever so feels like it’s just in time to start dialysis around a month later, what a Christmas present!

    Feels like I’ve been fighting a war of attrition to avoid this day since diagnosis in 2008, even more so since it seemed imminent back in 2012, so feels quite deflating tbh.

    If a patient with kidney failure requires dialysis and is unable to access the number of sessions they need a week, they will eventually deteriorate and, without intervention, they will die.

  34. The Israeli occupation forces destroyed all the dialysis machines at al-Shifa Hospital on purpose – 60 machines catering to 350 patients, including children. As a result, all the surviving patients are now being treated at Al-Aqsa Hospital.

    “This is a massive load, especially since electricity is not always available. That is why we were forced to reduce the number of hours, but this has a very negative impact on a patient’s health.”
