Greetings to all brave dialysis folks,

You need to have a lot a fight in you to go through the bumps of daily dialysis life. I am going on 26 years of dialysis and I feel I am loosing the battle but will continue to fight with what I have left.
I appreciate this opportunity to have this forum to meet and talk to other folks that go through the same challenges I have and hope to use this tool to attain more knowledge. You would think I would be up to speed with most subjects but just not the case.

I have worked full time during all my years on dialysis but recently have gotten to a point where I can no longer perform my job at a high level that I am used to, so I finally stopped working and started home dialysis with the hope of getting better or stronger.

Anyway, thanks for listening and hope to talk again soon.

26 years on dialysis, and working full time besides!  That takes a special kind of person.  So glad you decided to join us here at IHD.
