Hi all
I have been on Hemo for nearly 4 years, and I've now made the decision to switch to PD. I have renal failure due to contracting an illness called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), which I developed while undergoing IVF treatment here in Brisbane (Australia). In the beginning, I was to ill to go straight to PD, so I've just kept up with the Hemo. It has taken me a long time to decide to switch over, but now that I have made the decision, I'm looking forward to having a bit more freedom. Can anyone tell me, what does it feel like to have all that fluid "swooshing" around in your tummy. And, will I be walking around with a big stomach (vanity I know)? I'm only a smallish person so I guess I am worried about having a big stomach. I know that this is a small price to pay for good health but I guess I'm worried people will think I'm pregnant, when I can't actually have any children now. Any info, (good or bad) that you could offer on your experiences with PD would be greatly appreciated. I am back to see my Neph at the end of January and I will arrange for PD to start rolling then. Thanks Kelly |
