I am tired all of the time but still trying to maintain a "normal" life for a disabled person.

My husband is a great support.

But sometimes even that doesn't keep the depression away...

I inherited PKD from my dad. He's had a transplant and is now on (hemo) dialysis. I opted for home dialysis and have been doing it since November of last year.

I joined today hoping to meet others who share in my story. I am 52.

I live in California.

I'm looking at different options of dialysis now. What's your experience with home dialysis? I'm having the same problems with depression, too. I've tried Cymbalta and it seems to help, with the pain, too. But knowing everyone here is going through the same problems is really helping. If you want to talk, PM me.
