Hi jakia, welcome to IHD.  I do in-center hemodialysis so I don't know much about PD.  Lots of IHD'ers are on PD, though, so they can probably be helpful.

 :welcomesign; Jakia...

I'm caring for my mum, Elsie who has KF and Parkinson's Disease...

She's on CAPD, which I administer as she shakes too much to do it herself...

It is, in my humble opinion, a MUCH nicer form of dialysis in that we can have Mum at home, she's eating better, can drink more, and maintain her remaining function better...

It's not without it's problems... Mum's had peretonitis three times, but on balance, she's MUCH healthier and happier on it than haemo... All about personal choice, I suppose....

If I can be of assistance, feel free to get in touch...

Visit IHD often, get to know us, and have fun...
