:flower; Hello, my name is gfr queen. I live in Oklahoma. I am a 48 yr old female, married for 30 yrs with 1 son who is 7 yrs old. I was Born with congenital Kidney disease. Right kidney taken out at 6 months old, after Dr. tried to rebuilt it back in 1965. He was a great Dr. and saved my life but I think I was probably a test subject. Left kidney was then operated on numerous times through out my life. Only 1/4th of it works. I have polycystic kidney disease,CKD have had numerous stones,have a reduplicated double ureter coming off of the right kidney. I work in the medical field as a MRI tech in a hospital setting. I have a great Nephrologists and Urologist/Transplant Dr. I have lived with my Creatine 2.7 to 2.9 was normal for me, well now it has reached 3.1 with a gfr of 17. I have been healthy for the last 15 yrs. Now I have been wore down, achy, tired just all over malaise. And now I know the reason. Hope to be a great part of IHD family. However I have not started dialysis and hope not too. My brother is willing to give me a kidney, I hope that takes place before I have to go on the big D. Well thanks for letting me chant, hope to get many new friends.
