Welcome To ESRD Support

I had my Facebook page linked to my other blog, when I realized that my other blog is much more personal and includes a lot more than just information or my personal experience with ESRD.  This morning I took the time to create a new blog page just for my Facebook followers on the ESRD page, and I moved some of my older posts regarding ESRD from The Quest to this blog.

My life isn't my disease.  I am not my disease, so I will maintain The Quest as a personal outlet to share my life experiences and document my personal growth.  This blog is strictly for ESRD related issues.  I welcome your comments and contributions and hope we are able to build a community of support for our fellow ESRD patients, their families and their loved-ones.

I hope that my personal experiences can at least help someone feel less alone in their battle with this disease.  I encourage you to share your own thoughts about coping with ESRD from day to day, how it affects your outlook on life, how it affects your children, your finances and even your spirituality.

There are so few support networks in place for people like us and our families and loved ones also lack the kind of emotional and practical mechanisms for helping us cope with our disease.  We experience losses and our families go through those grieving processes with us.  The least we can do is be present for one another in times of grief and transition.

Please take some time to wander around the ESRD blog and suggest any topics that would be helpful to you.

 I welcome guest writers who have something positive and informational to share with others.  Just contact me about writing a guest post. I will have to read it and possibly edit for grammatical mistakes before it is published and I do not guarantee that your contributions will be published, but I will read them and give each one fair consideration.  I make no money from this blog, so I cannot pay for your contributions.


Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you'll become a regular here!
