I am a newbie to dialysis.  I have been dealing with FSGS since 2003, and I finally reached end stage on 12/6. Been a wild month.  Got my fistula in November, cathiter installed in December and now on dialysis.  My head is spinning, but thank god I found this sight!!!!

Hi Rodneyss1 and welcome to IHD.  I'm so glad you found us too.  Keep reading this site.  It helps you know you are not alone.  Most questions have been answered, but don't let that stop you from asking.  New answers are available all the time.  Come here to cry, vent and yell!
