welcome mike lane  :welcomesign;  I think you'll find a very friendly place here to talk and ask questions.  Theres off topic section too so thats always fun.  I even think theres a chat board but im not sure as i've never checked that out. We are going to be starting our training with NxStage soon, so at least i'll know what im talking about if you ask questions..  Hope you enjoy it here, i sure do!

Hiya!  I'm not on D yet, but when it's my time, I plan to do it at home.  There are plenty of people on this forum who do home D, and they would be pleased to speak to you more about it.  There are also members who have been on D in-clinic but are looking to transition to home hemo or PD, so anything you would have to say on the subject would be welcomed, I'm sure.  Thanks for joining our community!

Hi, Mike and  :welcomesign;

I'm on home dialysis, too; what type of home dialysis do you do? I've only just finished training on a Fresenius machine and I do nocturnal hemo every other night. So far it's really working out great.

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.

Hi, Mike and  :welcomesign;hi dessert dancer I'm a cowboy up dancer when i get out my dailysis is OK except have to do it every 6 hours and not really getting to go on long trip's anymore i think my biggest problem is trying to get woman from dropping me after i tell them I'm on dailysis i allway tell them before we date or anything they all just stop galling or tell me i shouldn't have told them before we dated, what do you think I'm doing wrong? anyway you said you do he-mo dialysis is it hard on you how long at night are you on it i don't use the machine i try ed it but it didn't drain me the right way as manual so i do all manual exchange i like have control over that and i don't have to worry if the power goes out thanks for talking to me thanks

Hi Michael and welcome to IHD.  I'm so glad you found us.  I volunteer a few hours a week to keep myself from going crazy. 

This site is great.  I hope you come back often.

Hi, Michael, and welcome to the group.  What kind of home dialysis?  I've been on PD for 7 years.  Tons of information and friends here.  Glad you joined!
