Hi everyone . I have been dialyzing for 4 years. One year on PD and 3 years on home hemo with Nxstage. I have just started nocturnal home hemodialysis. I am glad to be trying this. I am not really a candidate for transplant. I have a full time job and I am very thankful to be well enough to do this. I look forward to meeting others on dialysis.

Thank you soooooo much for joining; I am heading toward dialysis and am hoping to eventually do nocturnal home hemo on NxStage. I would be ever so grateful if you could tell us a lot more about your experience with this modality. Has your clinic been suppportive of you? Oh please, tell me more! There is a forum for home/NxStage/nocturnal dialysis, and I hope you will go there and post more.
I hope you will find us to be supportive and entertaining! Thanks again for joining! I hope you are doing well.

Hi beneteau and welcome to IHD! My hubby is also a NxStage user and we are considering "extended hours" with it here at home. Glad you joined our community.

Hi, beneteau! I'm guessing you're a sailor? Are you doing nocturnal on the NXstage or have you gone to a different machine for nocturnal? I do nocturnal on a Fresenius Baby K. Hope you stick around; there aren't too many nocturnal folks here!

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.
