Title: Who's on first, who's on second???????
Post by: Marina on October 20, 2005, 06:02:48 PM: Hi ladies and gents,
I'm just wondering who's on PD and who's on HD???????? I know I could read ALL post and figure it out myself, but who's got the time when they (I ) have to do 4-5 exchanges/day and get some sleep as well ( I work full-time, graveyard shifts)
Take care!!!!!!!!!!!
Marina

Post by: Epoman on October 20, 2005, 06:43:13 PM: How about adding a "Poll" :)
Title: OK, I thought you meant something else! :)
Post by: LifeOnHold on October 20, 2005, 08:23:52 PM: I thought you were talking about who gets put on first at the unit... that's a whole 'nother subject! :D

(Which gives me an idea...)

Post by: Epoman on October 22, 2005, 11:42:56 PM: I voted, Hemo. Come on people lets vote.

Post by: LifeOnHold on October 23, 2005, 08:26:00 AM: Hemo-- but I previously did PD for 3 years until 4 peritonitis infections destroyed my peritoneal membrane and I had to return to hemo.

(I'm also a former transplant patient... I've seen it all!)

Post by: toad on October 23, 2005, 10:16:24 AM: PD for me...4 exchanges over night on a cycler and one thru the day
Title: Re: Who's on first, who's on second???????
Post by: Bajanne on October 23, 2005, 11:11:01 AM: Hemo here. The other kind does not even exist in this country. A few years ago, they didn't even have hemodialysis. Anyone needing dialysis had to take the ferry to St. Thomas every time. Now there is a new sparkling centre in a new part of the hospital.

Post by: Rerun on October 24, 2005, 06:31:30 PM: I have to do Hemo. I prefer CAPD, but I've had too many abdominal surgeries and so my membrane is no longer usable.

Post by: kayzee on October 25, 2005, 05:55:20 PM: I'm on PD........tried the cycler, didn't like it, so I do 4 exchanges a day.
I'm retired so I do not find it bothersome doing the exchanges.

Post by: babi68 on November 01, 2005, 11:45:29 AM: Did PD for 8 months and got really sick because I wasn't dialysing enough of the bad stuff out. Been doing hemo for about 2 years and feel much better. ;D Liz

Post by: angela515 on December 14, 2006, 06:18:05 AM: I'm on PD. CCPD. I used to do hemo, hated it.. always felt sick and weak and yucky. I will do PD until I have no choice but hemo. I had a transplant before, waiting anxiously for another one. :thumbup;

Post by: Bette on December 14, 2006, 10:05:33 AM: I just started using PD and I started using the cycler last night :2thumbsup;. Big improvement. I hated HD. Felt sick all the time
Title: Re: Who's on first, who's on second???????
Post by: anja on December 14, 2006, 11:52:15 PM: Bette, glad you are happy with the cycler! I've been a 9-hour nightly Baxter cycler user for 1.5 years now.
Say, whatever happened to Marina, she used to be a frequent poster here... Anyone heard from her?

Post by: Lucinda on December 15, 2006, 03:34:12 AM: HI Marina,

I haven't started dialysis yet, just been "grafted" a couple of weeks ago. I am opting for nocturnal home hemodialysis.

May I ask why you do cycler some nighs and capd some days? And why do you not do anything on Friday at all?

Post by: del on December 19, 2006, 12:46:02 PM: Hi

Hubby is on nocturnal home hemo. Did almost three years on PD . It stopped working. He got really sick. Over 25 pounds of fluid on- lost eyesight for a little while. Did 6 years in center hemo. Loved it -except for the driving-over an hour on the highway to get to the center. Started home on Oct. 18/06. Has done really well on hemo. Lives a normal life except for having to hook to a dialysis machine. A very small inconvenience to feel as well as he does with no kidney function at all. Nocturnal is working really well. Has everyday to doo the things he wants to do.
