GODDAMNIT!
I got the results back from my kidney biopsy and I have a disease called IgA nephropathy. F*CK ASS! Now I have to take some stupid precautions for the rest of my life like dieting and I'm suppose to avoid full contact sports . There is a good chance that sometime in my life I'll need a kidny transplant as well but not anytime soon.

Your a renal patient now then? Good luck with your dieting, and I hope that your always weel, and don't need a transplant!

Myth that seriously sucks!
I'm sorry to hear that..you have to eat less protein and Reduce your cholesterol in your diet, I know that sucks,I had to lower mine as well and it's not easy.

I'm sorry to hear that man

Hope you feel ok now though, physically I mean........

Thanks guys. I physically feel fine. Heck, they wouldn't have even caught it if it weren't for my hospital trip when I split my head open.

poor myth that must suck

Could'a been worse...

i am so sorry dude i really hope this works out for you

Wow man, that sucks.

Ouch... My middle school English teacher got some nasty thing wrong with her kidneys... They thought she might die... She got a transplant and was alright though...

keep your head up, bro.

Aw dude that's terrible luck you have Hopefully it will turn out to be less bad than it seems.

well..my friend has Cystic Fibrosis, AND Diabetes, AND kidney problems...
it really sux cuz shes one of the sweetest nicest girls i have ever met, and shes 18 n prolly wont be around for a lot longer, i pray for her, n seriously hope they find a cure for CF cuz i dunno what i would do if she died, shes such an amazing example of survival under extreme circumstances. I think i have a lot to deal with, but thinking of her puts everything into place, cuz i dont have a life threatening disease...

awwwwww

and myth>> that sux, keep your head up and im sure things will be fine

shouldn't have been drinking

Drinking effects the liver (mainly). Besides, I don't drink. I just looked up some info and 30% of people diagnosed with what I have need a transplant within 5-25 years. At least this disease doesn't physically effect me when its under control so i can still run track and play basketball. Thanks god.

oh, sorry then dude, i wasn't to nice with anyone last night

Thats fine, I saw no problem with what you said.

ok

everyone gets upset. Especially me.
