I've been on the cycler for about 2-3 weeks now, 2 green bags for 8 hrs each night.  this morning I developed achy joints and I'm not sure why.  I have not done any unusual activity or exercise.  I was just wondering if PD might be causing this? could this be a sign of potassium too high or too low? or some other electrolyte imbalance?  Has anyone else experienced this?

Call your nurse.  She/He is there to answer questions for you.  The nurse wants to know what is going on with you.

Why are you doing two green bags, have you a lot of fluid to move?

yeah, I think they think I have a lot of fluid to remove, although I don't think so.  but i think i've figured out why i have the muscle pains.  I forgot to take my prednisone for two days in a row.  not a good thing to do.  i've done it before and had similar problems.
