My name is Erica I am 37 and I found out I had end stage renal disease about two years ago when I got my first check up in two years (due to no insurance) and my doctor called me and said go to the hospital you are in renal failure. :o I have a match but the hospital thinks I love dialysis so they are taking their time. My renal failure is due to high blood pressure. My doctor was giving me samples of blood pressure meds till I got insurance but it was not enough. I love the website and can't wait to talk to pepole who know what I am going through.

G'day Erica! Nice to have you with us (have you seen the show "Being Erica"?  :rofl;)

When you say you have a match - you mean a potential donor? If so that's great! Fingers crossed for you!

Anyway great to have you with us and look forward to more from you!
