My name is Nathaniel. I'm not one to go into much of a life story unless you are interested, in which case you may feel free to ask and I will elaborate and fill you in on all of my "fun-filled" antics. :bandance;
Been married to a wonderful woman for about 10 years now. We have 4 boys; Micah - 4, Noah - 5, Jacob - 8 and Jeremiah - 13. They are homeschooled.
I was diagnosed with Alports Syndrome when I was 14. I received my first transplant at 16. Went on Hemo Dialysis last November, and will now be training for my very first time on PD tomorrow morning after 1 more round of hemo.
I look forward to getting to know some of you and hope that we all can benefit from one anothers experience.
Regards,
Nathaniel

Hello and welcome. I am the caregiver to my husband only dialysis about 4 years. He goes in center. Personally I like that for US because he is checked out by the nurses each time he goes. I feel safer and more secure with that. He's not the greatest at taking care of himself. I come here for support and education as a dialysis patient or with anyone with a chronic illness effects the whole family. I've seen others who are on PD as well and I'm positive they wil have some great advice for you. There is also a special section on the boards here for that. If you haven't read through it I'm sure there's lots you'll learn. I believe that I've seen some members who are on PD say that with doing that, they are able to be a little more liberal about the renal diet. I would double check but I'm sure you'll like that fact lol. I have never heard of Alports Syndrome. If I'm reading correctly you had your transplant 16 and started dialysis last Novemeber. Is there a possibilty of another TP? Nice meeting you
