Well, of course, I'm doing PD, but I can't imagine going three days without. Just the fluid retention alone will destroy me. My ankles are cankles every night. I can't imagine starting the day out with those bloated things. I would never want to do in-center.
i'm not doing nxstage, but I have been given a 'fridge' sized dialysis machine for home use, and i do dialysis 7 days a week (mostly nights). for the most part, i do feel pretty good.

So I'm glad to hear you say that you feel pretty good. That's great! Good for you!
Hi MM,Since I made the switch from 3X a week in-center to 5 X a week NxStage, I absolutely feel better, have more energy, and friends/family say "I look better"...which I take to mean I looked like crap previously.---DanPS: RE: pic thread from Vegas...I thought MM was er, much older, etc. too LOL.
