Title: How do you feel about renal Groups.
Post by: kevno on January 27, 2006, 02:48:37 PM

I was told about a new group, called the YPG (young patients group) for people under 40 years old.  I have alway felt that renal patients should be as one, not  split into different fractions. All renal patients can help each other.  If 18 years old to 88 years old or over.  We can all learn from each other.  So if you happen to be 41 you can not join our group. I am under 40 (Just  ::) ). but I see not point in it.  Like this web page NO AGE LIMITS.  which I feel is the way it should be. I have already  had it out with the chairman who as set the group up.  All I got told was the people like to be in there own age groups.(Ha!). They can talk about there Children, mortgage but renal patients over 40+ have the same issues.  Well thats enough of my rant. What do you feel about it.

Since it is new it should be open to all... then if there is enough interest.. smaller..age oriented groups could be formed... Just my opinion.. I probably wouldn't join anyway..
