My name is Nora. I am in dialysis due to an allergic reaction to medicine. Currently I am doing home hemodialysis and hope to have a transplant soon since I have a live donor who matches me.

I'm a newbie too. I just began dialysis about 2 months ago. Do you dialyze at night? I have been doing in-center treatment but I would love to do nocturnal dialysis everyday because I think I would have better results. My only problem is that I don't have someone who could be my partner to help me with it. Any knowledge you have about home dialysis I welcome with open arms. I am so glad you were able to find a live donor for transplant. I really want to explore the possibility of transplant in my situation but I do not have any family who can donate on my behalf, so back to the drawing board ;) I hope we get to learn so much more about you. This is the place to be.
