Title: Just got here, glad I found ya
Post by: FineWhine on June 08, 2010, 08:56:44 PM

I have Polycystic Kidney Disease and massive cysts in my liver too. Just got a hook up with an AV Fistula on the second try. In denial and proud of it. Debating where to go for transplant. Love my nephrologist because he actually listens to me. Very diet conscious, staved off dialysis for 5 years. I don't know exactly how to use this forum, but willing to learn.

FineWhine!  I love your name!  I wish I had thought of that for myself!  Instead, I'm Rerun, originally named because I'm on dialysis for the second time and it just seemed like and old TV show Rerun (same ol crap different day).  Then I found the Avatar of this little guy who is Lucy and Lioness little brother named Rerun.  Basically, Lucy felt the same way I did after finding out she was having another little brother so she named him Rerun.  Sorry.... I got to rambling!

Welcome to IHD.  It is fun here and questions get answered.
