Welcome to our community.  This is just the place to be, where you will find people who understand exactly what you are going through.  But, as Karol said, please let us know a bit more about you.  This site has become a family and that is one of the ways that our relationship develops.
There is lots for you to read, and as a veteran of 4 years, there may be much that you can share as well.  Please keep posting.

Welcome Gary,

     Since you hate dialysis, sounds like you've found the right site.  :o

     I'm pre-dialysis, so I'm learning tons from reading all of the posts.

     I just joined a couple of days ago, so I'm still learning how to naviagate the site.

After reading your post, I know we already have one thing in common, We All Hate It.
You'll have to write another post, to tell us a little more about yourself, you've been on dialysis a while now, so I'm sure you will have a few stories for us.
I look forward to reading your posts.
good luck

Bill.
