Okay, my nurse approved that I do 400 blood flow speed.  I’ve tried it at 500 per my doctor’s orders but when I got off the machine after 4 hours and 22 minutes I was feeling dizzy and light headed.  I called my nurse.  She said it makes sense to do the blood speed at 400 because I’ve added more hours.  However, my Kt/v is 2.17 as of now.  My nurse said it’s good as long as I’m over 2.0.   

I just want to thank the people on IHD for their research and sharing the information with everyone.  I feel a little better since I am able to do one day on and one day off.  Let keep sharing what we learned so we can have all dialysis patients close to as healthly as a normal person.

Love you guys.  :grouphug;

My nurse checked my numbers and she said my new batch of boxes were not infected.  However, I know for sure my last batch of boxes were because I had the numbers.  Hope everyone is okay and DaVita be more on board when it comes to their patients.
