I really don't know what to say to you. I have been on dialysis 17 years. If you want a transplant , I suggest starting the process as soon as possible. Take care!

Dialysis is not a recovery process. Dialysis simply cleans the toxins from your body that your body otherwise cannot get rid of. So people have lived long lives on dialysis but it's not something unless that's what you want to do do for the rest of your life it's an alternative to help try to keep you alive As Long as You Follow all protocol. Not if you can get a transplant in the kidney that you're receiving is a very healthy kidney and then once you receive it you take care of it you take all of your meds like you're supposed to cuz you will have long life man. So it's really up to you on what you would want to do with your life. You can be on dialysis until dialysis no longer works for you. Or you can get a kidney transplant and praying that it's a success it's healthy. And that you do what you're supposed to to receive the blessing of a transplant that you are supposed to do.

Hi Hazratwali,

Starting dialysis is very traumatising, i know i was afraid and helpless when i started at the age of 17. I assure you that you can live a quality life on dialysis. Do your personal research. It can take over one's life if you let it become your focus, fit it around your life not the other way round. It seems right now as if your life is over, i felt the same when i first started. When the trauma wears off, ask yourself this question: i am going to let this take over my life?

Honestly, the beginning is always hard but you will be fine.

Hope that helps and all the best.

Have you looked into living donors, family and/or friends. Talk to them. Research it and then talk with them. It will get better, but that is up to you. How you react to dialysis will make or break you. I want you to stay around, do what you have to do to stay focused and take care of you self.
