Before I launch into my story, I thought I'd ask -- are there people on this line who do or have done PD?  Or do I need to go somewhere else?

This site is for anyone affected by ESRD.

I'm pre dialysis and they let me hang around on a limited basis. (Just kidding) You are more than welcome here. Let it all hang out Jeanne.

PD is the dialysis of choice for many people in this website.  Just have a look around and you will see.  Hope to hear more of you.  You haven't really introduced yourself to us as yet.  That is a nice French name - Jeanne (I hope you pronounce it the French way).

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

 :thx
How great to get online and find all these people just saying Welcome and hello!
I'll have to see if I can figure out how to get a picture of myself up.  I am not a technological marvel.  By way of introduction, the other day I had a little steroid shot in my arthritic foot and felt so good I was able to parallel park my car.  This was not quite a first, but the first time I had a cellphone with a camera.  So of course I took a pix, even though by that time the back car was gone, so you couldn't see what a feat it had been.
My story:  I started CAPD last December with GFR of 15, stable for over a year then (and now for another year).  My diagnosis is, kidney failure caused by a succession of serious infections. 
They had me on too much volume, apparently.  I developed very bad GERD, had to have bigtime meds for it, and then an abdominal hernia.  The idiot doctor let me go with it, and it ruptured.  This makes having a baby look like a pleasant walk in the park. . . Since I still had kidney function, I could be empty while I healed after the emergency surgery. 
I changed to a younger doctor who understands that I had a very bad experience and need to make my own decisions.  I am still not back on dialysis.  I flush the cath once a week.  I am not energetic (am 65), but in very good spirits.
The doctors want me to go on CCPD, but I wonder how much I would gain from it.  Can anyone point me to any studies on that?
