Yes, there are definitely others on dialysis in the community! Many MyKidneyDiseaseTeam members are managing dialysis as part of their kidney disease journey — so you're far from alone.
Connecting with others who truly get it can make a real difference. Some great ways to find and connect with fellow dialysis patients include:
- Posting on your Activities page to start a conversation
- Joining online forums through the National Kidney Foundation, which has dedicated spaces for people on dialysis
- Checking out the American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP), which lists support groups by state and virtual options
Living with dialysis comes with real challenges — the time it takes, dietary restrictions, fatigue, and the emotional weight of it all. Sharing experiences with others in the same situation can help ease that burden and offer practical tips too.
