that doesn't lessen the importance of the information there.
when i was in the kidney care information session, one of the male nurses told us 'we don't know anything about chinese medicine, so we recommend that you avoid it.'
interesting, how china has embraced western medicine, but many western health-care-givers have yet to open their minds to the chinese traditions, which, by the way, have been around for about five thousand years. if their system didn't work, how have they become one of the largest populations on the planet? the narrow-mindedness of western medical practicioners is a good example of western arrogance, but it doesn't serve patients very much. co-operation and education could benefit everyone, one would think.

I wonder if anyone could give me some advice.I am having some problems on dialysis and off. When on dialysis I have a lot of pain in my arm due to the needles resting on the ulna nerve, carpal tunnel and neuropathy due to diabetes. Sometimes it is so painful I have to cut my dialysis short which is obviously not good for me. Lately I have been taking percocets to control the pain. It works some of the time but I really don't want to be taking them 4 times a week. I am now in Toronto training for home dialysis Yeah!!! No more hospitals..However I will be dialyzing every 2nd night for 8 hrs which could mean up to 4 percocets. Anyhow, I want to try and control the pain in some other way.. maybe meditation or something. Do you know anything?
I also get what I call Dialysis rage. After about 2 hrs I start to get really anxious and angry. They have told me that dialysis irritates the nervous system, therefore, makes me irritable. I get extremely agitated and bitchy. So now they give me Clonozapane. More drugs I would rather not be taking. Would love to know a way to control my anxiety without drugs. Any advice? ...

Sorry, I know it's another drug, but ask your doctor about Lyrica.  It helps with neuropathy, and has a mild sedative effect, which should help you rest at night without knocking you out.  There is wide dosage range so if you try it, I recommend starting at a low dose and increasing slowly.
