hi all
i am cris from ny and i have polycytic kidney disease along with other family members i also have fibromyalgia which complicates things and some other medical issues i am not on dyalisis yet hoping if i watch my diet i can postpone or avoid dyalisis, if thats truley possible. i am around 40% function(great for now) i have watched the board scince i became real sick with pylonemphritis last june, this new one will be a little ajustment, i have learned alot from the posts and feel not so alone. it also helps me understand what my other family members are going thru, i cannot check the board as often as before because of not feeling well and know i have missed alot of imformation. i cannot work at this time and that is a hard transition for me to accept. i also do not spell well. and a special message to cheyrl thank you for all your support i believe i will get that referal to a nemphrologist next month as my insurance changed and i had no choice but to switch dr's and i am hoping for the best. as i am having problems with my blood pressure going from low to high its not stable right now. well enough said maybe to much for the introduction post best wishes to all
