Title: Introduction Post
Post by: RobinM on August 27, 2008, 03:52:03 PM

Hello!

This is my first post.  This is a great site!  I was online looking for some information and this site popped up.  I'm so glad I checked it out.  

I'm 43 and live with my husband and two cats.  I have Lupus and ESRD.  I've had the Lupus for over 20 years and kidney disease for around 8.  I was in in-center dialysis for 5 years, peritoneal dialysis for 1 year, and 2 years on home hemo (NxStage).  Now that I'm doing home hemo I feel like I've got my life back.  I'm healthier (as much as I can be with lupus and no kidneys!) and I have more energy to do things.

I'm not sure what else to write!  Post me if you have questions.

Robin
