Beginning Dialysis
Hi, Call me Sarah. Have any of you found that in-center dialysis is all around more feasible than periodialysis at home. I found the home process too difficult and we don't have the space for the equipment. Anyone find a very good center with good techs in Gaithersburg or Germantown Maryland?

Alternatives to Statins
Ezetimibe is a tablet that lowers cholesterol. It may be prescribed if statins cannot be taken, or alongside a statin for extra cholesterol-lowering.
