Hi Axel, the first center I went to I was the oldest there, and I did dialysis with children who were nine and other ages, the youngest being three, and when I was there it encouraged me because those children had so much courage and hope that they would get better. I can't imagine having to deal with KD for that long, so keep going and the best thing to do is to stay POSITIVE, even though I know it's hard, because I feel like giving up sometimes, but that's why I joined this site so I can keep going! :welcomesign; :grouphug;
