I am interested in how long our members have been on dialysis. When you complete the poll please answer with the longest time you have been on dialysis at one time. For example, if you were on D for 2 years, then transplant, then D for 5 years, please answer with '5'. Within your post you can put your answer and include the type of dialysis you have used. I hope I'm not confusing. :-)
thanks for your participation!
