Hello everyone,

I m a caregiver. I am not English native speaker , so sorry for any mistakes in my written.
My sister 33 yrs is a HD kidney patient for a year til now. She began with GERD for 2 years before CKD found. No any doctorial conclusion on the cause of her disease. Her physical symthoms are high blood pressure , headache , eye loose vision, weakness....and some others that CKD patients may found. She has a perm on right chest. By the way , her mental problem is quite serious. She cannot accept this situation, furious , nightmares , can't sleep , cry. She doesn't go to see a mental doctor. She doesn't believe that mental doctor can relieve her. The only one thing can cure her is to recover from CKD.

I join this web to share anything here focusing the new medical issues like stemcell , cloning, kidney artificial or any new hope issues....

Thnk u very much for every cheerful messages in the website and this website too.

Hope that the new medical technology will come very soon to help all of us here and all the world.

God blessing all of u and medical research staffs.

Thank you,
Si

I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.
