 :welcomesign;Sue. You'll find a lot of great people here who will help you learn all about dialysis and who will listen to your problems and rants without judgment.

I hope your dialysis experience is a positive one and you are beginning to feel better.

Welcome Sue, sorry it has to be under those circumstances, but glad to have you aboard. Kporter is right, this site is full of people who are going through all that you are going through and can help with any questions, frustrations & rants, you name it! The site is named properly, I hate dialysis, and everything about dialysis!  They are informative and really know their stuff!

You post and post often.  Again Welcome and God Bless,

How are the treatments for you so far?  The first month or two are usually the roughest!
