My name is Aaron and I currently live in Iowa, though we will likely be moving soon.  I've been on Hemo for about 7.5 months and before that I tried PD for a few months.  However, I stopped PD because of major intestinal issues.  Fortunately, those have since resolved (I hope).

I look forward to getting to know all of you folks and sharing experiences and information.
