Thanks, everyone, for your kind thoughts and words. I'm still not feeling the greatest. They don't really know why my kidneys are like they are. It can be a bad diet, medications, bad luck, or many other reasons. If you eat a lot of processed foods and soda and stuff like that, do yourself and your kidneys a favour and stop. Ask your doctor for a blood test to check your kidney function. You can be kinder to your body by watching your diet, exercising, and keeping your weight and BP normal.
