Which is more annoying? PD catheter or a CVC

I've been on PD since February and have hated it ever since, not only are my labs getting worse; but dealing with the catheter and "full" feeling makes it hard to get any sleep and overall just annoying to deal with. I am about to switch to HHD and get my CVC procedure done in 3 days. Anyone have experience with both?

Cold sweats and leg muscle ache

Hey guys, I'm a Type 1 diabetic with my eGFR down to 2. I've been doing PD since February and it has not been doing much for my lab numbers despite adjustments and taking all my meds regularly, so I have an appointment on the 6th for a CVC to be put in my chest and start training/treatment for HHD. Recently for the past couple weeks I've been having cold sweats and aching leg muscles like my body thinks my blood sugar is crazy high, despite it being completely normal. Could this be because of all the toxins in my blood and the hemodialysis will help fix it? Has anyone else had this experience?
