Hi- My name is Brian and I have been on Hemo dialysis since September of 07.  I dialyze at home (In the Puget Sound Metro) on the NxStage, and am working on extended therapy.

Oh yeah, and I (^**& hate dialysis. ;D

Welcome to the site.  Isn't it exciting to find a place full of people that hate dialysis too?  Feels like family real quickly.
