Title: Greetings from Maine
Post by: librajenn2 on February 19, 2008, 11:20:31 AM: Hi Everyone - my name is Jenn, I am 25 and live in Maine. I am not on dialysis, and not really even close to it yet, but have been recently diagnosed with Stage 2 CKD. My Mom (who is also on this site, SandyB) recently was on dialysis, had a kidney transplant, and raves about this site so I've been lurking for awhile. I have a kidney biopsy scheduled for next Wednesday (they are fairly certain this is hereditary, but they were unable to gain any information from my Mom's biopsy). That's my story for now - but I wanted to say I am sorry for the loss of one of your (our!) members. My Mom was really sad to hear of it, and it reminds me of how amazing friendships can form through a screen :) That's all from me.... (for now!) Have a good day, everyone! ;musicalnote; ;musicalnote; ;musicalnote;

I hope you stay stage II for a long time. At any rate I appreciate you taking an interest in ihatedialysis.com. There is lots of information at your finger tips. I hate the biopsy on the native kidneys, I experienced pain during mine but don't want to scare you because others have had it done with no pain. Please let us know how things turn out.

Post by: MyssAnne on February 19, 2008, 02:15:10 PM: Welcome, Jenn!!! I so hope you have no pain during the biopsy! Ick. I was lucky, I never had one.

I also hope you stay in stage 2 for a long time! I was fairly successful, for a few years, in holding
off on dialysis. I'm now on the cycler (pd), which I really like, much more so than hemo!

Love you

MOM (aka Sandyb or Slywalker)

P.S. Sorry you inherited the bad part of my DNA.
