My mom was a nephrologist for 40 years. She had a lot of patients who were really quite sick from a kidney standpoint, but lived pretty much normal lives aside from needing to go in for dialysis twice a week. I know that sucks but maybe you can use that time to do something that makes your life better like study a language or read better books or something; it's kind of like doing your homework while you're waiting for your laundry to finish in the laundromat yknow? Forced change sucks but it can bring about good results too. Or maybe you're not even bad enough that you have to do dialysis, which is huge!

Also it's worth noting that end stage sounds really scary, like you're dying or something, but it's just a catch all term for a certain level of kidney disease.

A lot of people have been in your shoes and lived full lives. I mean shit even Osama Bin Laden was able to blow up the twin towers and wage war with the US with completely failed kidneys so like you can do anything.

Plus, medicine gets better and better every year, especially with common ailments like kidney disease. 2020 is right around the corner and there are a lot of new therapies for a lot of bad diseases that are scheduled to be available by then, and even now they're better at it then they were 10 years ago. And hey, at least it's not 50 years ago where your doctor would be asking you if you want a priest or a rabbi for your funeral right now.


But I feel you, it really sucks when your body betrays you. All I can say is that if you're still breathing it's never as bad as you think it is when you first get the news.

Thanks for taking the time of writing all that, it really helps.
Doing dialysis doesn't really bother me, I already did it twice.
What I'm really scared about is how I'm forced to change the way I've been living for 24 years, be it because I can't eat whatever I want anymore, having something sticking out of my chest or because I was sad enough with my life and sometimes I just feel it keeps trampling me.
I've always thought that keeping a positive attitude would bring joy no matter the occasion, but right now is WAY too hard to do that...
