Follow my journey to a kidney transplant as well as share low sodium recipes
Went to wash my van then to wash clothes, started feeling dizzy and lightheaded. As soon as I got home I checked my blood pressure and yup it was low.
Hi, I'm so bad at posting on here. So let's give you an update since my last post. I did end up going to a new clinic when told me about dialysis at home. So I did it I am now doing my own dialysis at home. I love it so much better because I do my own schedule and no more clinic except once a month when I go for check up. I've been doing good back on blood pressure medicine but that's okay. I am supposed to have weight loss surgery but it's at a hold not sure why so I joined the gym all I need to lose is 60 lbs but why is it so hard lol. Anyways I hope everyone is doing good. I'll start posting more just been busy with kids myself and mom.
Hello all.. I haven't posted in a while I am still recovering. I finished with therapy and I have been taken off all high blood pressure meds. What a blessing! I am controlling my blood pressure with diet only. I will be signing up for another kidney transplant list so that I may have better chance at getting a kidney. Hope all is well. God bless!
I am a survivor! I woke up in the hospital not knowing what had happened to me. Turns out last Monday I had seizures at home after dialysis. My blood pressure was so high it caused me to have seizures I fell on the space heater at home. My mom called 911 I was intubated and put on strong medications. Thank god for all that have advocated for me and was there for me. I feel that the kidney doctor at the dialysis clinic wasn't paying attention to my blood pressure as I kept telling her my blood pressure was high for about 2 months. It ended up taking a toll on my body. My family and loved ones have helped me and I will be moving to a new clinic. Thank you all that kept me in prayers and thoughts. It means a lot to me.
Thank y'all for all the prayers and love.. I am starting to feel better I even joined the zoom art class right now. Which is always relaxing. I'll post the final picture once I'm done. 😊
Update: I am home, they proscribed me pain meds and stronger blood pressure meds. All the test they did came back great CT scan, EKG and stroke test. I have an appointment tomorrow with a general surgeon for the hernia repair I am hoping to make it to my appointment. Going to lay down and rest, thanks so much for the prayers. God bless
In the ER came in by ambulance. Doctor is going to start me on pain meds for headaches and blood pressure meds to lower my blood pressure.
So about 2 months ago I was in a car accident and my blood pressure has been high since then. The doctors haven't done much cause they were thinking it's from the pain and stress. Well I think the high blood pressure is starting to take a toll on me. I got off the machine/dialysis early so that I can go to the ER. Can't take these headaches anymore. Prayers please and thank you. I will keep yall updated. Much love!
Not feeling good today.. prayers please and thank you

Hello all my name is Isabel Robles and I have been living with kidney disease for 2 and a half years now. I go to dialysis 3 days a week for 4 hours. It slowed me down in the beginning but now I have learned to embrace it and live as healthy as I can. I made this page to see my journey towards a kidney transplant also to share recipes and health chooses between all that join the page. If you have a low/no sodium recipe please feel free to share with us all. I will be cooking live with y'all as well. Feel free to like and invite people to join the page as well.
