Hello, Badrobot here. I have been doing the kidney dance (similar to the banana dance) since I was 19 in 1990. I got a transplant in 1992 but lost it in 2000 . I am usually in pretty good spirits but I am also bipolar . Gripes may be in my future.

Welcome to IHD, you Bad Robot! I'm fairly new here myself, and just learning the for the first time. But I've definitely had my my moments as well. And if it's ok to hit you with a question right here on the intro page, did you have any trouble getting a transplant with a bipolar diagnosis? I'm going for my big interview very soon and I'm can't shake being nervous that they will turn me down for having a mental health history. People here have been really reassuring, but I'd love to hear from someone who's actually walked that walk (or danced that dance). The thread is at http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=6368.0 --- I'd love to hear !!!Everything!!!! about your transplant interview process. Thank you for letting me jump your intro.

First off thanks to all of you for the welcome. I really needed the cheery responses. They made my day. As for the bipolar question, no, I didn't have any problem what so ever. However most of my manic depression was made worse due to prednisone.
