If you need information or support about: dialysis (hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis; incenter hemodialysis or home dialysis); or kidney transplant; or how to slow kidney disease - look into joining a listserv. Not only is the day to day conversation helpful the archives are a wealth of information - join the conversations (these are all listservs hosted by Yahoo Groups see the Yahoo groups help page for any who, how or when questions about listservs).
It's been over three months since the last listserv update. Activity has ebbed on some only to pick up again. Membership has grown for many: Australian Dialysis Buddies had the second greatest percentage gain in membership, iga the most new members keeping it's title as the largest list. NxStage_Users had the greatest percentage gain in membership; it also has the most posts per member - with over one post per member per week, it is the only list to achieve this level of activity.
