From NJ, male, over 40 have been on dialysis for 3.5 years since my transplanted kidney failed. Found this site when I wanted to know which was better Freesinius or Davita. NOT impressed with davita, less each day actually. The medical stuff I can deal with, not new, was on dialysis for 3 then was ridiculously lucky and received a kidney/ pancreas transplant, after about 7 years the kidney failed so back to dialysis and back on a transplant list. I been through it, if anyone has questions please feel free to ask. Long strange trip, but i've been really lucky  most of the time. LOL

Hello, and  :welcomesign; to IHD.... Sorry to hear about your transplant failing... Think a few people on this site are in a similar situation...

Thanks for offering to share your experiences with us... I'm sure we'll be taking you up on that offer!...

Looking forward to seeing lots of you....
