Hi.  My name is Paul.  I just went on dialysis the first week of December.  Up until then, I was healthy, or so I thought.  It turns out that my kidneys have been deteriorating for quite some time.  I thought I had a persistant case of the flu, but lo and behold, it was renal failure.  Anyway, I am on PD and feel much better.  I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and to learn from you.
Paul

Hi PAD1 and welcome to IHD.  I'm so glad you found us but am sorry for your renal failure.  It sucks!  I would go back on PD but I can't.  So, I'm on Nocturnal Dialysis (Hemo).  It's okay for me. 

I'm hope you find lots of information here.  If  you need to vent sit by me.

Hi, Paul, and welcome to the group.  I've been on PD most of 7 years, with an occasional waltz through hemo when I get really bad peritonitis.  I love my PD and can't wait to get back to it.  Glad you joined!
