Anyone on dialysis in need of support

I was diagnosed with SLE in 1997 age 15 and now have end stage renal failure and I have finally met the criteria for going on the transplant waiting list.

If there is anyone out there in a similar position who would like to share coping strategies then please drop me a line.

Hi, I am not in the same situation as you, but am happy to offer my support, as my sister went through 2 types of dialysis and kidney tranplants, this was not due to Lupus, but know what she went through. I hope you get your transplant very soon,
