I sometimes get accused of out of the box thinking and this is one of those times. Caregivers are not just those who help and support family and friends with CKD. Those of us who are patients with CKD and provide help and support to others in the Kidney communities are also caregivers. When I started here in July of 2017 I knew little to nothing about CKD and was helped by a lot of gracious people willing to share and support my coming to understand what I was going to have to learn to deal with.

I hope I've paid this forward to others who have joined since I have and will continue to support and share with anyone I come in contact with. Thanks again to all.

I think that's really nice words,and so right. I'm new here but I have been on other forums,and I think all in all,people help each other out.

Being a U.K. Resident,two of my best friends,who live in the US came from one of these forums. So you not only learn,you also make friends.

Thanks for that Mr Kidney.😘
