Sometimes kidney disease takes a long time to get to stage 5  and therefore many of us are in our 50's before dialysis starts.  But on the good side there are a lot of people here to talk to and many years of experience.  So thanks for joining , look around and stay in touch.

Girlfriend of Wade, on dialysis since 5/11/07 and NxStage since 8/20/07. We're hoping for a transplant as soon as his "FGP" is gone!

Geez! we have a lot of young people on dialysis here! Surprising since all I see are old people in center.  Welcome to the site.  Join right on in any discussion that interests you.
