Hi Everyone!

In March 2010 I had a GRF of 18% and 2.8 creatinine level.  I am hoping for a preemptive transplant as I have two siblings willing to donate.  I wish I didn't have a reason to be here :sos;

g'day & welcome Sax! Hopefully you can get that transplant before you have to go near D and hopefully be able to live a near normal life. It's good to have you with us - hopefully you can learn some stuff as you share your travels with us!

Welcome to our community!  As you see, everyone is hoping along with you that you don't have to do dialysis.  But even if you do, you will find out that life still goes on.
There is lots of information for you here, as well as support when you need it, from people who know exactly what you are going through.  This is your IHD family now  :grouphug; , so please take advantage of all this site has to offer.  Keep reading and keep posting.

 :welcomesign;  to IHD.  Forget the punishment idea...it's totally useless and simply gets in the way of effective coping.  I've never met a single person who likes needles and even junkies would probably prefer a better "delivery system". This illness is challenging but challenges CAN be met (as a young widowed Mom you likely could teach everyone a thing or two about challenges) and we're here to support you with meeting this one.
All best wishes for the pre-emptive transplant and kudos to your siblings for stepping up to the plate.  Living donors ROCK.

Hi Trix and welcome to IHD.  I figure I was a mean kid so I'm stuck on a machine the rest of my life!  I hope you get your transplant before you need dialysis.  Just remember to take your medication and watch your weight once you get your kidney.   

I'm glad you found us.
