OH, I just assume that I will be infiltrated sooner rather than later. That ia practically a given. I have every intention of learning how to stick myself. Out of all of my fears about dialysis, needles is not one of them. I know most people freak out the most about the big needles, but for whatever reason, I am a bit sanguine about that...for now.Noahvale, thanks for the link. I had in fact read it some time ago, but it was good to reread it. I noticed that Stuart Mott contributed to the presentation. I have read some of his posts on Home Dialysis Central. He seems to really know what he is doing.
My fistula is over a year old. I have not had to use it yet. Is my fistula "mature" or not?
why do you want to stick yourself?
Is your fistula big & thick now, MM?
