    May I ask how old are you? Is there kidney problems in your family?

    Do they think they can repair the damage? Are they talking about dyalisis?

    I'm so sorry no matter all the questions and....that you are scared. 

    I just wanted to answer so you know that people care.

    I understand how your husband must feel because I put my b/f thru alot with my problems and anxiety.

    I'm glad they told you what it was related to (the tablets)...and I'm glad you have hope to have them rejunivate...you are young so that is in your favor...more reslient!

    I've done much damage to my body....and I am very lucky to have "normal" organs at this time.  A month ago...my pancreas was very inflammed...kidneys and liver acting up from over drinking....Do you drink? 

    Do you drink alot of water? If NOT....start drinking alot of water...I can't tell you how important the Drs stressed to me it was for ME to drink water to help repair organs...grab a glass of ice water now and drink cranberry juice for your kidney.

    Did they tell you that?

      I do drink no an then but not exseverly. I drink about 5l a day of water as I can't drink fizzy drinks or coffee due to caffeine and sugar effects my intersitias cysits

      No my doctor didn't explain anything to me about which was frustration I also love cranberry juice an drink that a lot also drink multi vitiams drinks as well xx

    Be calm, at least they have discovered it before it was too late to try and fix it.

    smile  your welcome...I know all about health conditions and panic!

    You will be ok...the sooner the better (when they catch this stuff)......I would not drink any alcohol.....or limit caffiene to very little....kidneys and liver hate these two things.
