Hello everyone! Larry from Long Island here: M, 40 y.o. ESRD since 2002, M-W-F, first shift, fistula, not a diabetic.
I happened upon this site when I googled the phrase "dialysis sucks". Imagine my surprise when this site popped up! And to think, I though I was the only person who used that phrase.
Like the admin of this site, I also was tired of Google crunching out my Usenet messages. I especially like berating idiots who attempt to sell there kidneys (your opinion on this my conflict with mine, so from the outset, lets agree to disagree). Hope to be contributing soon!

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.
