Hello there!
First of all, i want to apologize for my bad English - it's not even my second language:)
Well, now, when i'm 63, after five years of fighting Chronic Kidney Disease and kidney cancer successful (though pretty complicated) surgery, i had to make a decision: to begin dialysis or not, and if yes, which one. My creatinine level raised up to 8 mg/dl, what means eGFR was about 6 ml/min/1.73m².
After lot of thinking - at the beginning i thought not to continue any kind of therapy at all - i finally decided to try dialysis and choose peritoneal one. I began it October 2 2020, so it's pretty fresh.
Here i wanted to share my experience and some tips and tricks i learned hard by myself. I wonder, if it will help to anyone, cause i didn't find online much info about it. My home setup is Baxter Homechoice Claria machine, as you can see below.
So if someone will be interested in my experience, like initial drain pain, manual drain, shoulder pain and so on - things you can feel and doctors usually don't tell you before you begin your therapy - i will be glad to share and tell how i try to solve those problems myself. It's only beginning, and i'll try to update this blog often, if someone will be interested. Please leave comments so i will know if anyone needs it. Thank you for your time for now :)
