tough, no breaks, severe arm pain on fistula arm, very stressful, bright lights, loud noise, feel exhausted, contemplate quitting each day.

I have been on peritonial dialysis for just over a year. At first it worked well but o and on have had terrible drainage problems with huge amounts o water retention. But I need to make it work ? Don't know what to do next

I was on PD until my transplant. It worked for me. Side effects were feeling really bloated and sometimes winded.

Hemo did not work well with me. Currently on PD - this seems to be working

I'm doing CAPD, it's going ok, can't really see a difference to be honest other than a bit of weight gain (which is good, cos I was a very slim size 6) and a appetite for food which I never had before.

The dialysis was a different story but it helped to keep her alive until she recieved a kidney transplant. Was not a relief, it was a long rocky road. But victory prevailed from it. God is Wonderful. Praise the Lord

2 years hem-dialysis - switching to PD

Treatment is working. My legs have decreased in size and I am walking much easier now. I find the dialysis treatment very exhausting. I come home and all I want to do is sleep

On PD , did hemo before. I prefer PD

Hemo thumbs down
pD thumbs up
