I attended the support group today. It was amazing to see how many people in this area have kidney failure. It was rather shocking. It was also very strange. Most of the people developed kidney failure due to diabetes or hypertension. One person didn't even know they had hypertension until they found out their kidneys were failing. I can't believe that in this day in age of modern medicine that people are suffering like this. Why isn't there better screening for things like this? Why didn't my doctor suggest I have my blood pressure taken on a daily basis? All of this would have been avioded if he would have ran more tests. Just because I'm young doesn't mean that I'm perfectly healthy. I don't understand why any of this is happening to me.
