My dialysis journey

I recently joined this group. I’ve been on hemo in center for over two and half years. I’m almost 48 and trying to be a care taker for my mother of 82 who is also disabled and has very a very rare psychiatric disorder. All I have left is one older brother who teaches and I used to teach for 17 years. I was diagnosed with a rare form of amyloidosis and see about 15 specialist just to stay alive. I started to write a book about my life because I want to help others while getting help myself.
