Let me Introduce myself

I have had Kidney Disease/ Problems, since my collapse in may 2009. I have Vasculitis, about five 'overlapping' Strains, of ANCA Vasculitis- to be more exact. The Vasculitis damaged my Kidneys, Heart and Brain- I now live in a Supported Living Environment. I can, pretty much, take care of myself Inside my home- Washing, cooking, Cleaning (really?) and general Day to Day 'stuff'. It's when I GO OUT, that I need Support.

I have a, fairly/ very good, relationship with my Mother and attend Church, with her Most Sundays. I do still have a Father, and Step mother, although I rarely see them and Never see my sister- long story!

Anyway, it's late now, so I'll sign off. I'll write more, next time.

Kindest Wishes

Hi Andrew,

Welcome to the forum. There are lots of nice people on here from all over the world. We all have got or have had liver dramas or are carers for people with liver dramas.

I’m in Australia myself.

I THINK, that I'm in the wrong place....I have a KIDNEY condition! I'm sure that you ALL ARE 'Lovely' People. When I first 'Clicked', this link, it DID definitely mention Kidneys, hence my introduction. Please do accept, my apology, and my best wishes.

Hi and welcome to this forum where there are lots of knowledgeableforum people (but I’m not one of them 😂)

I’m afraid your issues I am unable to comment on 🙁 because as everyone knows “I know nothing”!

PS are you a fan of the Rolling Stones,
