Dialysis & CKD discussion board report for 1/18

By Bill Peckham

Dialysis & CKD discussion boards activity for the week from 1/11 to 1/18.

The boards are busy. Kidney Space has plenty of new members and as many posts in one week as the last Discussion Board report showed for two. Check out the Renal Support Network's KidneySpace and join the conversations.

One board closed down - Chronic Chick is blogging more so it looks to be a change in focus vs. a health issue; a new board has joined the list. ButYouDontLookSick is run by a someone with lupus but the name suggests a lot of relevance to those reading DSEN. And numerical oddity of the week: IHD has as many post as DaVita has members. Epoman is grinning.
