Googled 'Dialysis', looked around a bit. I bet this site is nearer the top of the results than it was then...

#19 of the main listings. I didn't include the sub-listings. Wo-hoo!  :yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo;

If you set your preferences to view 100 listings per page, it's on the very first page!  :2thumbsup;

I was having a hard time with new symptoms and getting fed up with the saccharine-sweet Kidney Foundation site, googled kidney support and knew when I saw the title that I had found The Place.

I was trying to find 'real' information on what to expect with dialysis. Found this site through google searches.

Just random searching to try to learn as much about dialysis as possible.  Believe I was looking for "dialysis forums".  Thank goodness I found IHD.

I did a Google search on kidney-related sites and found this message board.  I was immediately impressed by the "staight talk" by people actually experiencing these issues and their willingness to share with others.
