Hello, My name is Debra Stokes, I have polycystic kidney disease and I am currently at stage 4.  I am going to get a fistula put in next month.  Have lots of questions, so far the sight has been wonderful so far.

Welcome!  I have PKD too and have been on D for a year so ask all the questions you want.  If I can't answer, I'm sure someone else can.

Hi, and welcome.  I had a fistula put in just 2 weeks ago, so if you have any questions about that, perhaps I can help.  Lots of people here have lots of experience to share with you.

 :waving; Hi Debra,
Good to see you here, hope to hear more from you. My dad and siblings all have PKD. So far my sisters and brother have lasted a lot longer than my dad (they are in their 50's now) so have been lucky so far. Good luck with the fistula.
Welcome!

Please don't be scared.  I have had so many operations on my graft.  By the way, this should have been written in the General Discussion section, since you have already been introduced.  I know that everything will go well.  Please let us know (in the General Discussion!) how everything went.
