Hi,

I’m a 30 year old female from Kent with kidney failure. I have been meaning to write about my experience with kidney disease for some time now. I did very briefly keep a journal when I first started dialysis in 2008 and find it fascinating to look back on now. Sporadically since then I have thought ‘I should have started it when…’ insert life changing event, but I didn’t, so I’m starting it now. I’m going to go back a bit to what I can remember of my diagnosis and once I’m up to date I’ll keep a record of what’s happening now. I guess this is mainly for me but in the future if it can help someone else who is going through something similar then that’s all to the good.

Thank you for reading.
