Pre Dialysis

« on: December 04, 2008, 06:18:38 AM »

Hi there, my name is Lee and I am pre-dialysis with PKD . PKD being hereditary I have grown up seeing dialysis first hand. I just wondered who was out there pre-dialysis and what there thoughts were , etc etc .

Anyway if anyone would like to get in touch that would be cool.

Ps I am very positive about this but if your positive or not it would be good to chat.

Hey Lee. Welcome to IHD. I am pre-dialysis. I try to keep positive but having my moments right now because I am starting training for dialysis soon and I have a houseful of people coming for Christmas - that's in another post. Anyhow, I also have had to deal with kidney failure in a number of my family members. This site has been absolutely terrific for me. Great place to get all the information you could ever want. There are a large number of pre-dialysis patients on this site and generally they are a pretty positive bunch. Like me I think there has been an acceptance period where it wasn't easy but you realise after being here for a while that Everyone knows exactly what you are talking about when you need to rant. I think you will find this site a terrific place to be. xx

Hi there,
I am pre-dialysis. It isn't easy, but it can be done and I figure someday my kidneys will completely fail. At least that's what I've been told for 7 yrs now.
Welcome. Make sure you check out previous topics to get good info about kidney disease.
