Title: I'm new here.
Post by: melrich736 on July 15, 2015, 03:48:04 PM

So yea. I'm new here. Been reading the posts and what not, and finally decided to join. My name is Rich, I'm a 31 year old male from Central Florida. I've been on dialysis for about 4 years and some change. Mostly PD, but switched over to hemo this year due to a nasty peritonitis I ended up with. I've been fighting with the notion of going to support groups and what not, so I figured this would be a good place to start. That and it'd be nice to meet people who are dealing with CKD as well. (I know no one else personally, aside from some people at the dialysis clinic. They don't like to talk though lol). So I think that's it. Questions? Comments? Feel free to contact me.
