hey everybody!!! I'm downranger, I'm new to dielysis. I've been on it for about six months.
I live in pharr,tx, that's deep south tx. Basically I just wanted to say hi to ya"ll!!! I'm a male 37 yrs old.
Supposedly I got renal failure because of my high blood pressure, but there may be another reason.
I used to work in the refineries cleaning their tanks. So I don't know, but anyway, talk to y'all later!!!

Hey there downranger,

Glad to see you made it. You will find IHD to be the most informative resource there is regarding dialysis.
