Hi all,
Have been on PD since 3/2005.
Just had my first bout with peritonitis.  Wasn't as bad as I had been led to believe, and with one dose of the antibiotics that I was given when I started PD, it was all over.
I did go to the ER and they kept me overnight, but that was mainly cause my husband was out of town and I didn't want to take a chance on driving with all the pain meds in me.

Hello Kay and welcome to the board. Free feel to vent your frustrations as often as you wish that is what is site is here for.  ;)

This site is unlike other sites where posts are modified or deleted by site moderators for having content that is too harsh. If you ask a question you WILL get the straight truth from either myself or one of our members. This is a no holds barred forum.

Again welcome to the site and please tell fellow patients about this site.

Hey... Sacramento.  An hour and a half north east of SF.  Do you see docs in SF?  I've heard they are really good.  The ones in Sacramento suck.

My  Dr.  is  pretty  knowledgeable,  although  she  sometimes  drives  me  crazy.  i  think  she  suffers  from  AHD  (or  ADHD)  whichever  the  adult form  is.       But,   when it  comes  to  medicine  she  knows  what  she's  doing.          To  tell you  the  truth  I  loved  my former  Nephrologist  a whole  lot.  But,  with  this  insurance  changes,  I  had  to  switch  to  an  HMO,  because  the  PPO  was  way  too expensive.          So  with  this  HMO  I   had  to  sign  up  with  a "medical group"  and  can  only  see  doctors  in  that  group  or  it's  an out of  pocket  expense.  (man  Nephs  charge up  to  $300.00/ visit).
                     My  dialysis  adequacy  is  great,  so  yes  my  Dr.  is    doing  a great  job  following  my  case.
