"denial and anger".... I think u need a psychiatrist , or even better spend some time in a psychiatric clinic....I can hook u up, my father is a psychiatrist, if u re in the area....You are being emotional. Nobody wished you kidney failure. Heaven knows the world needs less dyalysis patients , not more. You are very upset seeing that you are in stage 3 kidney disease. I understand, denial and anger are part of the grieving process. Nobody is laughing at you and you are not alone.
That chart I posted is from my company and guess who came up with it? Nephrologists....you know kidney specialists. So your family practice doctors can tell you "oh don't worry your kidneys are not that bad." We get this all the time and people slide quickly in dyalysis when kidney issues are not aggressively treated my primary care doctor.
Family practice doctors are jacks of all trades but masters of NONE. This is why they routinely refer their patients to the specialists like nephrologists.
When I talk to my patients in their dyalysis chairs I don't shame them for their behavior that lead them.to that chair. No not at all. I hug them, cry with them and go over what we can do now for their kidney health.
I am here as a voice of reality of where steroids and hypertension will lead people and yes, that is through the stages of kidney disease until dyalysis and or death. People do not want to hear it. They want to blast and abuse their bodies thinking everything will be okay. I see the current trend with more and more steroid abusers paying for their behavior.
i dont even read your "essays' anymore, you are boring and stuck up....again..shut the fuc up and leave me alone, dont quote my posts and then respond with some ridiculous essay about my emotion etc, u frkn douche!
