Hi Mike
  I have been watching my creatitine level go from 1.5 to 4.3 in the last 6 months, I have been throwing up every morning, if I start dialysis would the vomiting stop? Should I get  fistula put in now? thank you, Irv

Hello Mike,  :welcomesign;

I see that your home dialysis tec?  They are concedering myself as a home dialysis patient.  Filled all the paper work, meettings, and home visit from the tec.  home dialysis nurse.   I'm still not sure if I want to see the machine 24/7 in my home.  They say that they will provide me with a home tech that comes in for the 4 hours of my treatment.   It's just the set up in my home that is bothering me.  At the center I can hear it when it buzzes from all the machines which it bothers me to hear.   How can I have that in my home and worry that it's no clean enough.  I just think it is extra work for me where I don't have the energy after it's done.  Would the tech be doing it?   My nurse didn't really explain the details and still I'm not sure if I'll get a tec..it's not set in concret...
It's good to have some EMT/tech here to ask the questions that we so don't know what your thinking... :clap;
