I hope I'm doing this right, I'm new to posting. Anyway, I'm AJ from south Georgia, U.S.A. Been on Big D for 2 1/2 years and thought I was the only one brave enough to say I hated it. Would like to meet others who feel the same way.

This is just the place for you!  Welcome to our community.  Feel free to vent, to rant, to rage.  There is also lots of information here, and since you have been on dialysis for 2½ years, I am sure you have lots to share with us.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Please go to your profile and fix it so we know if we are talking to a male or female.

Just like to say hi.
I love your description of dialysis as the BIG D.
I've been on dialysis about the same time as you and believe me you will definitely fit in.

Hello AJ1963 it is great to have you here at IHD.

This is a great place for venting and discussing options anywhere from CKD to dialysis. There is an endless amount of information within this site.
Besides the search feature on IHD you can also search at www.kidneyoogle.com when it pertains to renal issues.
I'll be looking forward to your posts.

you're right Twirl - this thread was essentially "bumped up" by "emanart" a one time poster.

Welcome. Yes, the name of the site brings many people over to it.  I still hate dialysis and probably always will.
