Hemohelper;
My reason for having issue with this thread is it was started by a person who is not a patient and the information used was cut and paste from your post on another website. When dealing directly with you, I have no problems talking about issues with NxStage. I am still very surprised that NxStage hasn’t done something to fix your problem. I do believe you that you are having the issue. I am just not sure why NxStage has not sent you a new machine and taken yours for testing. This would be my suggestion to you though. Start asking them when they are going to get you a machine that works. Tell that you have been on the internet and compared your story with other patients. That something is wrong with the machine you have because no one else has this problem. I do believe that the boards are a good place to share information. I just feel that Heather wasn’t thinking when she started this thread. The way she words things seems to be attempting to bash NxStage. That is just my opinion though. I also prefer that people take the time to register their screen name. That way they can be accountable for what they post. Again just my opinion.
and yes I do getcold on any dialysis machine. I use a electric blanket in between my other blankets now and I still get cold at times. So yes I understand your problem.
