The thing about problems, they do not seem to stop once they come.
I had cataracts on both eyes because of diabetes and the retina detachment. Yes, cataracts at 30. Imagine going to the waiting room to be surrounded by 50 year olds or older. I stuck out like a sore thumb.
I had a total of 3 surgeries done to my eyes to ensure my vision, or what’s left of it.
With these surgeries come blood tests, showing that my kidneys are not holding up. Every blood test yielded worsening kidney functions.
The diagnosis of the kidneys at that point in time? Stage 3 chronic kidney disease.
Having a direct and blunt, or so I have perceived with my impaired cognitive functions and emotional stability, did not help me building rapport and trust with me doctor. I did not trust my doctor simply because the medicine give was not producing results.
From diuretics to steroids, nothing worked. I had metformin to control my blood sugars back then. They thought it was appropriate.
The dieticians thought that a high carbohydrate diet low fat low sodium diet is appropriate. Now I know, they are not appropriate.
This path I walked is not what others should follow.
