It's definitely not worse than dying, and not arrogant...strong. Anybody can give up and quit.

I live in Nevada. We’re the second worst state to give vaccinations per 100 ppl. Why do you think that is? What makes us different than other states?

I'm 23, female, currently on dialysis. I'm a mod at /r/dialysis come on over if you need people to talk to, ask questions, etc.

To be honest, it's not so bad. The toughest part for me is watching my diet. I looooove cheese, yogurt, milk, etc. now I can hardly have any. Also the liquid restriction sucks. Worst part, I'm not eligible for a transplant because of my insurance....it sucks. I totally understand where you're coming from on the kid part, but hopefully your states waiting list doesn't take so long. (For example NV AIS 2-3 years while CA is 5-7 years wait time) Mind if I ask what state you live in?

Best of luck OP!

You can go on vacation with hemo as well, you just set it up ahead of time to have dialysis in the state you will be visiting to.
