Been registeredon here for some time but have only recently started visiting here regularly.  Suddenly realisedthat I never introduced myself (renegade that I am! :yahoo; :yahoo;)

Was diagnosed with CKD about 23 years ago.  Did PD for 18 months, had a kidney transplant for 10 years, did PD for another 8 years, and have recently switched to NxStage (do short dailybut ultimately want to do extended). Went to NxStage Users conference in New Orleans in October and met a group of great people and so pleased that I have joined their ranks doing NxStage as I feel so much better than I had for at leadt the last four years.

By the way, I'm am already liking the regulars that I meet on here too.

Healthy people may look upon me as weak because of my illness, but my illness has given me strength that they can't begin to imagine.

Always look on the bright side of life...

A belated, howdy, Amanda!

 :waving;

I recognize you from the NxStage users forum (where I rarely post any more since Carl was fortunate enough to get a TX last February).

We were going to go to the NxStage conference until life kind of changed on us.... and I'm NOT complaining!  :rofl;

Well Amanda, I see you have been through quite alot over the years, and pretty much can teach us alot through your experiences.  I too love this NxStage.  My husband is looking and feeling better than he ever has since he was diagnosed.  I tribute it to NxStage and this site. I never knew this site existed until we trained for NxStage and nurse told me to come here for support cause I didnt feel I could do NxStage after the 1st day of training. I came here, read few posts and went back next day and told him "Lets Do This". 

Here we are over a year later, things running smooth as silk!  So glad I did not QUIT.
So thankful to him for his properly training me & J. and very thankful that he turned me on to IHD.

God Bless,
lmunchkin
