Coping with kidney failure can be a highly stressful time. Whether you’re new to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) clinics or have been coming a long time – you can all relate to the fact that life seldom takes you on a straight path. You can expect some ups and downs. These may be related to your health; the strain of travelling to clinic appointments; numerous other doctors appointments; the challenge of keeping up with family and household responsibilities; changes in life circumstances; financial pressures or conflict in your family/personal relationships – and this list is by no means exhaustive.
