Thanks for sharing. I am surprised that doctors don't offer more resources and direction on the "real life" information that we need, once diagnosed with a condition or disease. We are probably told about our symptoms and some (not all) treatment options, but not about how to actually LIVE with our diagnosis...day-to-day: eating, sleeping, physical activity, emotional well-being, etc.
Good for you for seeking more information, and being "armed" with it, before going to the doctor's office. We would love for you to write back and tell us how the doctor's office went. Plus, if you could tell us about "mild kidney disease": what is it, what are the symptoms, causes (if known), treatment options, how are you feeling about it, etc.
