RESTORER glad to see you posting! I was actually just wondering how you were doing. I was reading older posts and realized I haven't seen your avatar around much.

Anyway about the BP it just seems to be constantly high even on D. Like Monday I walked in with BP around 200/100 and then during D it stayed around the 170s over 90s....it seems to be a rare few times that my BP has gotten low. I thought last weekend that maybe my BP had finally righted its self out but by Monday sky high again...I think I am one of those person that needs to be on NXstage...I can't take going 2 days without D.

xo,

Why are you not on Nxstage.......

Forgive me for not noticing this earlier, but you were the one with hemoglobin at 16 g/dL !
That is dangerously high and you should have more frequent testing of your hemoglobin, certainly more than the typical once or twice per month and adjust your Epo accordingly.  High Epo can cause high blood pressure.

Hi everyone,
 My blood pressure is crazy out of control. 150s to 200s for the systolic and 90 to 100s for the dialystolic. I am freaking out about this and wondering does anyone ever have their blood pressure under control while on dialysis? ..

I am worried b/c my hemoglobin has been 16 lately!!! They stopped the EPO...but I am freaking out that I am going to have a stroke!!!
