I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease in April. My doctor took me off a harmful-to-kidneys BP medicine, Lisinopril with HTC and put me on another one that is supposedly safe. She listens to me and takes my opinions seriously. I lost 20 lbs and have increased my water intake by a lot, because I never really drank water very much. But here’s the thing she told me, “Did you know that your blood tests have shown your kidney disease for eight years? Did your previous doctors ever tell you?” I was shocked and said “No, no one has ever told me until you!” She actually looked through my history and gathered the information. All these other doctors who ordered blood tests and then didn’t TELL ME or they didn’t notice. So they left me on the harmful med for eight years! I was at Stage 3A which is moderate. The next month, I went for a follow up and all my bad levels were all reading normal!!! I’ve watched my diet, and drank the water and got a blessing from my Bishop. I decided that even though they were pessimistic about improvement, I believed I was going to heal. I go to the Nephrologist on the 24th and I hope my levels are even better. Thanks for listening.
That's wild af. I can't say I'm shocked the doctors kept you on meds that weren't right. I think that happens to people quite often. Who are you or anyone else to question their "expertise"? It is as bad as crooked mechanics.
I'm glad you found someone who seems to have your best interest in mind. I do believe they're out there but people in college are sold the idea that they can make big money if they follow the 8 years of college debt path.
Good to hear you've made positive changes in your life.
