How awful for you! I just can't imagine! I'm so sorry that PD didn't work for you. How do you feel about going back on hemo? Is it a big disappointment or a big relief after your battles with peritonitis?
-
I feel for you and all of the pain you've been through.
Let's hope the hemo will start becoming effective soon so you can begin to feel better again.
Hang in there.

I have a good idea how you feel. I came off CAPD around ten years ago now. It does take a while to get used to hemo. But you will get there. I had to come off capd because of EPS and had to have my peritoneal removed. Hemo is better for patients who are on long term. Has I found out. I was on for 13 years Capd changing those bags 4 times a day.
Plus the pain of peritonitis is something only a renal patient who has had it knows. :stressed; At least you will not have to go though that again.
We all go through ups and downs with dialysis, sometimes seems more downs. But we usually come through the other side. I am sure you will feel better soon. :thumbup;
Yours

Well, 13 years are a long time for dialysis. Few dialysis patients, PD or HD, can survive 13 years.
