| Janet | Posted At 04:41:17 02/17/2003 I was diagnosed with adult polycystic kidney disease 24 years ago and although I have attended the same hospital renal clinic for the last 20 years I have only recently met anyone with the same disease with whom I could discuss our problem. It is good to find a site with like minded people who understand the way I feel. It is too easy to feel isolated when friends and family don't really know the fears I have about the future. Since I have had my fistula made I know that dialysis is not far away, and am not looking forward to the future. How is it possible to live a "normal" life when 3 days a week are spent on the machine? |
