Hello I was diagnosed CKD about 3 years ago but didn’t need dialysis until February of 2018.

Ji ptown cook!

Welcome to IHD.  You've come to the right place.  We are all here for each other, whether to lend an ear or to try to help each other with advise.  Dialysis is slightly different for each of us.  We have our trials and tribulations amd it is often very helpful to have another for moral support.  Frustrating, it can be very helpful just to 'vent'.  This is the place.

Read lots.  Post often.

Take Care,

Charlie B53
