smac @smac welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You have come to the right place. There are lots of members in the group with various kidney & bladder situations who are here to talk, share stories, offer hope and encouragement. There is another Mayo Clinic Connect group specifically called Just Want To Talk. You are not alone.
I have Chronic Kidney Disease due to 50 years of diabetes. I don’t know much about Membranous Nephropathy. Perhaps other members that have experience with this condition will join the discussion soon. You said your previous Dr. tried different meds until you switched Drs and got a biopsy. Are you comfortable with your new Dr. and do you have a new treatment plan? Would you mind telling about it?
I too like @pml am a person of Christian faith. I believe in prayer and that God always answers prayer. But I think His answers may be yes, no, not now, wait…..I have something better in mind than what you are asking…..etc. That is why God is God and I am not. I also believe that God gives medical providers, medications, treatments etc. to accomplish His perfect plans for my medical situations even though I may not understand what that is.
My hope and prayer for you is to receive the best care possible for your condition and to feel an increased sense of wellbeing. Will you keep us posted on how you are coming along?

Thank you so PML and Cheryl for the response, I am a believer and I pray everyday sometimes all day, I do know GOD can and he will and its on his time not mine, some days I wish he would hurry up..lol..I finally started to drink enough water and eat better took awhile to accept that..this is my 3rd doctor and I like this one been with him since October, my treatment have been so far a form of chemo call Rituximab, I have had 2 rounds of this treat and my numbers have gone down some, will do another blood test on Monday and see the doctor Aug 7 for next steps..
