Newbie here, mt name is Pam.  I am my mom's carer (not sure if that is a title or not).  We are way new to this.  She was diagnosed with CKD about a year ago and we are now looking at starting dialysis.  We are planning on PD with the Liberty cycler, my mom is still in shock, denial and terrified.  But we'll get through it together.   I'll share more, but I don't know what else to say.  So, there is my intro.http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/Smileys/classic/embarrassed.gif

Hi Pam! I'm Annie, I'm my little brother's caregiver. All of this can be really scary, but it's not so bad once you get used to it. My brother has been on dialysis for a few weeks now. But anyway, welcome!! I think you'll find that everyone here is very nice and helpful, I have!!
