Dealing with kidney disease can be a source of stress and anxiety. Whether you have just been diagnosed with kidney disease, are starting dialysis, are awaiting transplant, have been admitted for a kidney transplant, or are receiving treatment after a transplant, you probably have many questions and concerns. Learning all you can having a good support system can go a long way in helping you cope with your illness.
Although end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a life altering condition, it can be managed with medication and treatment. However, it is normal to worry about how this diagnosis will affect your life, your health, your ability to work, your family, your financial situation, and your relationships. If you are starting dialysis, you might need to know about transportation and dietary changes. If you are having a transplant, you may have concerns about psychological adjustment, your prescription coverage or about other financial issues, and about how to get to your outpatient clinic appointment. In both cases, you may be concerned about getting time off from work, and about paying for the costs associated with treatment. If you live far from the Boston area, these issues are compounded, and it may be more difficult for family and friends to visit you. So please get tested, stand up and fight.
