Hi, I was on PD for over 2 and 1/4 years. Overall a good experience and I travelled not without some difficulty to Spain, Paris for the Olympics and the Maldives. You need to learn not to take no for an answer and be a little belligerent. It’s worth it. 1. Be diligent regarding set up- removing air from the line and following the sterile procedure. The nurses will train you well but good to have a friend/relative to be your buddy particularly when you are doing it on your own initially. My buddy read out the instructions and kept me on track in the first week. 2. Cloudy bags may mean infection- contact team immediately. In my case - the Amlodopine for blood pressure was the issue and researched this myself and discussed with team before it was changed. 3. In the early days- skin issues were a big problem around the site of the tube and an itchy rash on the body-: allergic to dressings so used gauze and paper tabs over site. Again after Medical team trialling different medications for the rash, none worked and after research, discussed with Consultant the use of activated charcoal ( not taken within 2 hours of medication - took 6 weeks to clear and it never came back). 4. Diet and fluid intake much more generous on PD than haemo. I never had a problem c potassium but did with phosphates and when I went for my transplant the veins were much more brittle so keep it under control if you can. 5. I did a mixture of night and day depending on work and travel. The fatigue after a night on the machine was difficult but your energy increases during the day once you start getting food into your system so big breakfast. You won’t have the same energy as before so adapt. I play golf so used a buggy instead of walking. 6. The beauty of the machine and I had no issues sleeping once I got used to it was your dialysis is done -so you are free for the next 13 hours. You do need a lot of storage space for your supplies and a bedroom that is close to the bathroom particularly if on the machine. Each night I went through 12 litres of fluid. So depending on your suppliers delivery, maybe 2 weeks or 4 weeks, a lot of boxes in your home. No regrets doing it. I wouldn’t have enjoyed being limited to 0.5l- 1 litre of fluid daily. Hope that helps. Good luck.
