Any other BBS for HD patients?
Hi!
I often have a look at this BBS and read the posts here. They all help me a lot especially in gaining information outside of my country (Japan). I feel that more people are on CAPD rather than on HD in the "Western ountries." I do not have any exact data but more people are on HD than on CAPD here in my country. This is an interesting fact.
I would like to get more information about HD abroad and am looking for any other BBS like this run by any organization or person outside of Japan. I know a lot of domestic sites but this is the only one "foreign" site I know as a BBS for kidney patients. If you have any URL of such websites, please let me know.

Evenings also.. less so in mornings and at weekends.. but sometimes you get lucky..Bruce wrote:You can chat here:

The time difference between here (UK GMT) and Japan is +9 hours so its the middle of the night there when its after noon here.. If you try at about the time you posted before Kaz you might get lucky with some morning users from the UK:) Late evening at in Japan may be the best time.

Bruce & JMan, thank you for the additional information . I'll try on-line chat at the site you mentioned during late evening hours in Japan. Do you both often join the chat group? I hope I can "meet" you there!
Oldborris, thanks for your information, too. As I already have an account with Yahoo! UK, I am ready to join the group you mentioned. I had a look at it and found it interesting .
I could not find any of these BBS/chat sites without your help. I really appreciate it .
