Hey hows it going everyone just introducing myself.  My name is Steve and my future wifes name is Ashley.  She is the one who hates dialysis and I'm the one who hates it because she has to go through it.  I kept stumbling across this forum doing google searches trying to figure out home remedies for the various problems we run into because of her kidney failure.  I read a bunch of topics here and it seemed like a great informative place so I thought I'd sign up.  So here I am, hoping to contribute what we know to help others and hopefully get help from others with questions we may have.  See ya around.

Welcome Steve & Ashley!  Have her come on here too!  It is a great support system, better than any I have found anywhere!  You like the Chicago Bears? Or are you a fan?  Looking forward to reading your posts. 

Again welcome & God Bless,

Read some of your posts and I think we could all benefit from the kind of support you provide to Ms. Ashley!
Good job! Take care and stay strong
