Title: My husband is at his dry weight (CAPD) and cramping, what should I do now?

Hello, My husband is doing home CAPD and reaches his dry weight. He cramps and no sure what to do, he doesn't seem to want to call the PD nurse so I am asking for opinions on here.
Should he continue to dwell using the yellow bags? I'm confused, PD nurse says to use green always, but the cramps make it hard to use his hands when capping on & off.
HELP PLEASE   :Kit n Stik;
 :pray; :pray; :waving; :sos;

Should he dwell less? More?

Ah yes, this topic validates my suspicions.
I know a little bit about a lot of things, and a lot about a few things,  ::)
but part of this topic proves that I also have a zero level for some things.  :oops;  :banghead;

Sorry I'm unable to help on a matter of such importance.

A PD nurse should know that 'always green' is not a very educated thing to say, especially on a matter of such importance. ::)
Don't change the dwell time though.

Love and luck, Cas
