Hello; came across this site while surfing various dialysis issues and see that it's packed with information. I've been doing nxstage hhd since December, 2009, and have been on dialysis for 15 months total.  I'm in Atlanta and have found nxstage to be the best dialysis option for me while I wait for (hopefully) an eventual transplant.

Hello Atlanta and welcome to IHD.  I'm so glad you found us.  I too would like nxstage but I don't want all the supplies at home and I don't have anyone to help me.  Good luck with it.  It is a good choice for dialysis.

Hope you get the call sooooon!

Welcome to our community!  Glad that you joined us.  The late founder of this website, Epoman,  was also on NxStage.  In my country, the British Virgin Islands, the only option is in-centre dialysis.  I do hope you get your kidney very soon.  You are now part of the IHD family  :grouphug;  a caring and sharing group of people.  Keep reading and keep posting.
