Hi Everyone,

Name Jeannette. My husband has been a Type one diabetic for 22 years. He has just recently started dialysis so this is new for us. We're always trying to find stories that people share about their experiences and such, so it was great when i happened to stumble across the I Hate Dialysis Message Board. Feel free to send me any advice you might have about being on Dialysis or even being the wife of someone on dialysis. I could sure use some.  :2thumbsup;

Oh my, have YOU come to the right place!  Here's a helpful hint...click onto the name of any member, and it will take you to their profile screen.  On the left hand side, you will see a link that reads "see all posts", and if you click onto that, it will take you to all of that member's posts.  If you find their very first post, it will probably be their introduction, and there you can read their story.  We have so many members that it will take you DAYS to read all of the stories, and you will see that you are not alone.  I'm sure you've noticed the Spouses and Caregivers forum...lots of great info there, too!

Thanks for joining our community!
