Hello My name is Nadia I'm 34 from corpus Christi TX,just three months ago i went to the er cause i had pain on my chest and they check me and told me that something was wrong with my kidneys and suddenly they told me that they co lapsed and that my only option was dialysis. So from one day to another my whole life changed. at the moment i have the venous catheter for temporary access so u can imagine how hard that is for me, I'm getting ready to get a fistula but still i feel lost with all the changes so i hope to find friends in here i need all the advice possible so i don't feel so lost :oops; :oops;

OMG what shocking news for you! How are you holding up?
I'm getting to that point myself and I have found this forum to be a treasure. I haven't posted a great deal but I have read a lot.
Check out the humor section! It's a happy way to learn about the ins and outs of your new circumstances.

Welcome to IHD Nadia :welcomesign;. So sorry to hear you found out about your kidney problems in such a traumatic way. I also went to the ER in 2011 with congestive heart failure and found out while there that my kidneys were going bad. I just had a PD catheter and a fistula put in last week to start dialysis. I am glad you found your way here. Ask any questions you want as there are so many people here who have dealt with so many issues. I am a newbie like you to this site but it has helped me so much. Keep us updated and again welcome!
