Aboutthis here community is for people familiar with dialysis to discuss the good, the bad, and of course, the ugly of it all.
although we appreciate the fact that dialysis is keeping us alive, some of us just can't
help but say, "ugh, time for another damned dialysis treatment again"..
friends and families of, dialysis nurses, technicians etc. are all welcome to join and share your support, concern or aggravation of dialysis.

shesnot_there.
i was 12 when my kidneys suddenly (and randomly) failed. i had a cadaveric transplant at 15, which lasted me thru highschool and one semester of college, and then that too failed. i'm now 24, back on hemo-dialysis and have been receiving treatments thru a perma-cath for the past 2 years. (yes! it can be done, but its not easy and NOT recommended by doctors). i'm able to have a sense of humor about everything, which definitely helped me along the way.
