Help Get a Job
Are there any resources that can help someone on Dialysis get a Job? I graduated college about a year ago and have yet to find gainful employment.

Just wanted to share a lovely moment
A few weeks after I started dialysis, a woman also started. She was dressed in drab brown clothes and needed help to walk. Once seated she would shake and tell anyone that listened, that she didn't want to be there. She just wanted to go home and die. Her family had insisted she at least tried dialysis

Question about dialysis
I’d like to know why you chose the type of dialysis that you did, Hemodialysis (Home or clinic) or peritoneal? Any insights would be appreciated.

The Truth about Home Hemodialysis
It has been the hardest month I have ever had in my life. I promised I would write an honest and complete description of the process. I started on October 16th. The first week, I wrote about already. Not too many issues. But in my head, I was so overwhelmed. I was not ready for dialysis mentally in

What is the required temperature at a Dialysis Center or Facility?

Return to dialysis
My transplant is 29yrs old and showing signs of failing, as is my heart. As I’m 77 I don’t know if dialysis would be an option for me. Has anyone faced this situation, I really would like to know.
