Hello there. My name is Bill and I live in Warren, Maine in the USA. I do know how you feel, I have had most of the same issues. I used to work two jobs and still hunted and fished as much as I could. Now I do dialysis three days a week and struggle to hunt. I try to stay as active a s possible, makes me feel more in control I guess. I hope you hear from Darthvader, she is in Dublin and is very smart person, and allot of fun too. She is a care giver to her Mom and is a wonderful person. I am on in the mornings and evenings here, I know the time difference makes for short chats, but do anytime. Just know we are here and you are not really alone.

      to IHD! You are NOT alone! Many of us are going through similar circumstances and there are a lot of young people on here so settle in and make yourself at home. I understand how you feel about not wanting to in out because of feeling crappy. I walk every day but there are days that I have to force myself to get out. It does help that I have a dog who loves to walk. All I have to do is mention "walk" and if won't leave of alone until we in for at least a short walk. Best of luck to you and remember that you ARE NOT ALONE!!

Hello, Dean Cank.

What's Gary Lineker doing these days?

Glad you've joined.  You will find many people here who know exactly what you are going through.

Could you possibly be a candidate for transplant?

Dean, there are a lot of folks here that are more than willing to share their experiences with you. Ask questions, read, vent about this life we are living. just knowing there are other fokks oout there in the same boat helps a bunch. hope to see you around the boards.

As you can see, you are not alone. All of the people here, caregivers included know what you are going through. it is not easy to be on dialysis and while diet is an important part of your life now, it takes more than eating right to get past all of these things. You are not alone and never give up are good words to offer to you now.

If there is anything I can do, let me know. I agree, if you want to vent or ask questions, people here can help.

Good luck to you.

  Dean.  I'm in England too, in East Anglia.  My Blokey (just a few years older than you) was on dialysis for over two years but recently had a transplant.  Are you on 'the list' for a transplant?  I'm glad you've joined; there are so many people on here who can offer you support and advice.

Hi Deano,  That is what I call my friend Dean.  I'm so glad you joined us.  Make sure and stay through your whole session and learn about your dry weight.  If they take too much fluid off me I don't feel well until the next day. 

I hope you feel well enough to read this site.  It has lots of information.
