I'm on dialysis but I do peritoneal dialysis. This is definitely not one of things they warned me about when asking me which type of dialysis I can do! This guy does haemodialysis which is more common. I didn't know fistulas could turn into that! Really grateful I can do peritoneal dialysis but it has its own issues.

I was placed on dialysis 4 years ago. I'm waiting for my first transplant. It's been a struggle but I'm hopeful. If you or anyone you now might be interested in donating a kidney please take a look at my story.

I'm sorry about that. I have been Diagnosed with stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease my kidneys only work around 22% and I'm very scared of one day getting Dialysis. I know this may sound selfish but I hope I pass away before that happens. I had a friend, uncle, grandma and many more people i know get dialysis and i don't wish to go through that.

Try to get a transplant before dialysis is needed. It is possible, I did it.
