Hi Rosemary. I'm Stage 4 PKD and do a lot of research. I have both a blog and a Twitter account pretty much dedicated to all things pkd, ckd and tolvaptan/jynarque. Would you know if may has any in person support groups? I live fairly close to the Rochester clinic.

@2gallonhabit, I found a Transplant support group - (I do not know if it is open to anyone, or for patients only. I have included the phone contact information.) The solid organ transplant support group is an open group for pre- and post-transplant patients and their caregivers that meets every week.
Mondays
4 to 5 p.m.
Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys Campus
Mary Brigh Building, Conference Room 4-510
Contact: Danielle K. Peabody, L.I.C.S.W., M.S.W., at 507-284-6658

@2gallonhabit, Do you expect to be moving toward a kidney transplant?
