I don't even know where to start. Six months ago I found out I had kidney disease (I have only 1 kidney and it is 1/3 dead). Then it started to fail, I was short of breath, I hurt all over, I could not walk, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and they made me stop my meds for that because they were killing my kidney so now I hurt even worse. I have had 3 MRIs, X-Rays, weekly blood tests, and every one of my 12 doctors has found something else wrong with me. Blood vessels in my brain have burst causing extreme headaches and my muscles were eaten up when my kidney went south. My health is gradually improving but the diet I am on (white bread, chicken, peas, and greens) is boring and not nutritious but I am not allowed to eat anyting with potassium. I am wondering why I bother. I suffer from depression and anxiety and both were made worse by my health. In fact, it was my T who coerced me into going to a doctor and I wonder if I should have told him NO and allowed nature to take its course. Life can suck.
