Hello. I am new & very happy to be here. I was diagnosed with FSGS in 2004 & started PD at home on 2/1/14. I am 32 and have two children. I have a ton of questions and am very excited to hopefully get some answers from other people who have been through this.

Hello Shayron and welcome to IHD...

I remember the relief I felt when I found IHD because I had the feeling I could share and learn form other ESRF'lers...
... that was a little different from learning from doctors... because doctors study about ESRF but they don't experience it like patients do...
... and studying with people who actually experienced ESRF themselves is a totally different experience.... and fi=gives t=lots of inspiration to study and learn... and survive....

Good luck on your journey of discovery and all the best from Kristina.

Hi shayron  :waving;

Im 32 aswell and have 2 kids too (boy aged 6 and a half and girl who will be 3 in july). I had kidney disease all my life and my only kidney crashed just after the birth of my daughter. I was very fortunate to receive a kidney from my dad 9 months later.

People on the site have always been helpful and comforting to me so am sure u will find the same xx

While I believe I  have a fair grasp on what dialysis involves, was pleased to find some tidbits that were not on my radar.

So am quite sure you'll be glad to have found this site and .  :welcomesign;
