Brenda Ellsworth What's the cause of getting cramps in my calves in the middle of the night, and what can be done about it. It wakes me up and hurts like a charley horse. Then I have to walk around, and I try to go back to sleep and it starts up again. I am a college student so it is starting to interfere with my studies, because I am always tired, something has to be done.

Have your blood checked, low calcium, also causes leg cramps when your on Dialysis, watch out for foods with high phosphours, it eats away the calcium, my husband has to take a supplement.

Brenda Ellsworth I had cancer and now am "stuck" on dialyisis because of it. Is there any way around the long wait for a transplant? The cancer has been in remission since March, and I had my right kidney removed then. I had leomyosarcoma, which was actually "eating" the kidney.

You need to talk to the dialysis social worker, she will guide you with Medicare, and all other issues. Social Workers deal with this every day and are wealth of information. Good Luck!

Hello everyone, my husband has been trying to be a living donor to someone for a few months now, on matchingdonors.com. He has gave 13 gallons of blood, and donates platelets on a weekly basis. He wants to take the next step in donating a kidney. He has already had HLA typing that he can share with anyone that is int...erested, or email me for more information. We never knew that it would be so difficult to match up living donors that aren't related. If anyone has any input, please let us know. God Bless.Read More
