I think for me, getting health news that is concerning can have a ripple effect on my mood and frame of mind.
It can take a while to process it all and not surprising you feel more irritable and short.
Give yourself space to breathe and some extra TLC if you can. 🥹
And reach out to your doctor to answer that specific question about physical symptoms to watch for.
Are there changes you can make right now that might delay needing a transplant?

Leslie- My renal dietician said refined sugar must be eliminated in my diet because according to latest scientific data sugar feeds the kidney cysts and helps them grow. As of March 30th I have stopped eating sugar. She also suggested to choose complex carbohydrates and avoid simple processed carbohydrates. (Honey, cookies, ice cream) She also suggested I try the Dr. Weimbs polycystic kidney keto diet. I emailed Dr. Ron Perrone at Tufts hospital in Mass. He directs clinical trials on diet for PKD. I want to get his wise advice on this keto diet. I’m seeing my own nephrologist in June and get her wise advice also.
Thanks for your encouraging words. It does help. I’m not so overwhelmed.
