I just made 10 years on dialysis in May....and I don't think I can take it anymore. I'm only 37 (will be 38 this Thursday) but I started when I was 27. The docs couldn't tell me why my kidneys shut down--they tested me for every disease in the book and all came back negative. That makes it so much harder to deal with. Everyone in my unit knows why they're there except for me. I am SERIOUSLY considering taking myself off dialysis...It just doesn't seem worth it anymore. Anyway--I'm glad I found you guys--people who know exactly what I'm going through. I hope to get to know you guys and make friends here. Looking forward to hearing from you! Oh and one more thing: I was suprised and saddened to find the owner/creator of this site has passed away. He was so young! Can anyone tell me what happened?
