Hello everyone!  My name is Leslie and I am a caregiver for my spouse who has been on dialysis for two years.  He isn't interested in using a computer but I do need to find out information for him sometimes - not just what they tell him at the dialysis center.

Thanks for having me.  :)

:waving; Hi Leslie,
Welcome! You can use the search bar to locate topics that have come up in the past, or just post a question.
I found it really helpful to read many of the posts because, as a caregiver, much of the information was given to my daughter at the dialysis clinic, and I was always trying to find out what was going on!
Best of luck to you both!

Welcome aboard the dialysis train !    You're doing the right thing by asking questions and searching for info .   The nurse can't or don't want to tell you anything .  They hate it if you know more than they do  ! :-*

Hey Leslie, Welcome to ihatedialysis.com.  You have come to the right place my friend, i hope we can help you (and your hubby) with those "unanswered questions" that the clinic wont or cant give you the answers to. :P :)   Looking forward to hearing more from you soon, in the mean time, enjoy your stay and do not hesitate to post any questions, comments and/or concerns of your own  :2thumbsup;

Welcome to the site. I had to point my hubby in the direction of the computer at first unwillingly.  Now he has one of his own and is tapping away at the keys as I    write this note.  The more you know the better treatment he can have,

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.
