Default Re: Early Detection

For me when kidney failure was first detected I felt normal and active. I was at 38% function. Check ups ever 6 months for about 5 years. Then it quickly went to 19%. At that point I started feeling lazy and tired. Once I was down to 11% I felt bad and started dialysis. Took about 3 weeks and felt like a million bucks. I was still tired so next step was sleep apnea test. I stopped breathing 90 times in 1 hour. So I qualified for a sleep apnea machine. 1 night is all it took and a swear I felt like 2 million bucks. Both items made me feel and act like I once was. Now if I could just get me a kidney and knees fixed I would the 6 million dollar man. Anyone O poitive that likes the smell of chloroform and dont mind stitches? Just kidding.
