CAPD(APD) vs HEMO
Posted: Wed May 12, 2004 7:03 pm
i chose pd becuase my doctor strongly recomeded it because im young
i can eat much more than on hemo
i can drink more i have freedom once i go on to ccpd instead of beeing stuck on a machine for 4 hours a day 3 days a week
i personaly chose it also because i had hemo thru a cahtete and it left me feeling tired sometimes i had hedaches and youy know with capd i dont feel any of these syptoms also capd is painless and with hemo you have to get needles each session
even my new friend who is around 60 years old and was on hemmo 4 about 4 years says hes glad he changed to capd becuase the hemo was giving his bodu quite a beating
i will suggest capd over hemo dialysis
PS: the oly drawback for me was not beeing able to swim in a pool but hey , i live on an island and i can go swim in the sea anytime
PS2: the catheter sticking out of my belly isnt that bad because people dont seeit at all but a shunt on your arm well you cant realy wear short sleeves without people knwoing
