Good for you Sullidog!  Alot of credit goes to you too!  You are doing something right and now seeing the benefits of longer dialysis.  It DOES make a difference not just in labs, but in the way that you feel!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I get my second report card after next week.  I hope I can keep my numbers in line like you did.  It appears that the hardest thing to control is phosphorus.  I've been eating a lot of egg whites and low salt tuna to get my protein, along with some Greek yogurt with whey protein.  I do crave meat and beans, though, I must admit.
