Welcome to our community.  This is a great place to be for anyone facing this renal challenge. One thing, though, we would like to get to know you a bit better.  Tell us a little more about yourself and how you came to be on dialysis and what kind of dialysis you are doing.  We have become a real family here.

Thanks for sharing with us.  And staying positive is what we have to do, as we face this renal challenge.  And this site does help a great deal.  I really appreciate the support that is given here.  All you have to do is post, and let the others know what you are going through, and immediately you have a wonderful group of people on your side, going through it all with you.   This special IHD family!
