My Dr was doing urine samples monthly for about 2 years finally sent me to nephrologist and found out my GFR was 18 he did a biopsy and I have membranous which is so severe no treatment will help, it was very depressing because I never missed an appointment. I have a wonderful and caring nephrologist and I got my self together and got on the transplant list now I’m just waiting.

Take care and be positive. We have all been where you are today for many different reasons. We have had to reach out to others for support and information. Not only listen to your doctor's but do your research. It gives you a sense of control. The more you know, the better the questions you can ask of your doctor's. Be kind to yourself and let yourself express your feelings. Your emotional well being is as important as the physical. The journey Will have its highs and lows but know others care.
