Hi Guys,
Its nice to finally hear from other young people. I have been on dialysis for three years, since i was 19. I know what u mean about being the only young person at dialysis. i was a hemo patient but now do PD at home. I find dialsys very isolating, i can never go out late or travel and am continually tired. Its difficult for other young people to understand what its like to live with kidney failure. I'd love to hear more about other peoples experiences.
At present they are still trying to find out what caused this and then i believe will start to test my family. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother so hopefully i might get some good news. They are all older than me so they are happy to donate if nessasary. I present i am an Accounts Manager for a software company in melbourne. I used to be travelling interstate once a week and i would in overseas once a month. i have had to cut that down now. its good my boss will be supporting me through this. I work while i am in the hospital having dialysis. once i get to do it at home i should be fine. i know how you feel working in the gaming industry i used to work security beofre this job and those hours took it out of me.
Hey Sarah
Is PD really that bad? i was told that i could travel? apparently you can do hemo at home and only 3 times a week. i am going to find some more information tommorrow. i dont really have mch experiences to share yet. I did start playing basketball again and i was feeling good getting up the court. how do you find exercising while on PD?
