My name is Don. I'm 39 and live in Peculiar, MO.I found I had Glomerulonephritis about 15 years ago. GFR is now 10, and was told I'll start dialysis in a couple of months. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Welcome to our community, Don!  You are joining it at what I consider the best time - just before you start dialysis.  There is so much information and support here that will help you through your transition.  And you will find that this is much more than just a website - it is a real family, :grouphug;  and we are looking forward to getting to know you.  Your hometown has a peculiar name, doesn't it?
Please keep reading and keep posting, so we will know how you are doing.

Hallo, Don,
               Thank you for the Introduction. I love the name of your town!! How are you doing? Are you able to do things or does your ESR 10 make you very exhausted and tired? I was also diagnosed with glomerulonephritis many years ago and I do not understand why my Creatinine is going up and down, nothing seems reliable and that is why I still have hope. When my Creatinine was 436 in February this year I could hardly do anything at all and now it is suddenly 409 which enables me to go for walks and do things again. Do you have similar experiences? Have you already decided which dialysis you prefer?  All the best and kind regards from Kristina.

Hi Don  :waving;.  We are  happy to have you. Make sure you come back often and get to know everyone.  There are some pretty cool catz here.  And some really helpful ones too. But 15 years under your belt already I am sure you will be pretty helpful yourself.  See you around
