Well I went to the dr today and have an appt on Thursday to get the catherter put in for pertioneal diaylsis :(..  I'm scared yet ready to start feeling better. My GRf is 11 and creatine is 4.38 and I get nauseated daily with vomiting at least once a week, fuzzy thoughts which is hard for work cause I do alot of fractions at work and have been making mistakes latley.  I hate the leg jitters and the swelling in my feet and feeling so tired I could lay right down in the aisle as I'm shopping let alone almost falling asleep as I'm driving to the grocery store..

Please tell me I'm gonna feel better  :pray; this is all happening so fast its making my head spin..

The nausea and the vomiting *should* go away once you start D.
