*salutes* Proto, leader of the Ace party and a friend, from the bottom of my heart and with most sincerest meaning I hope you get well as quick as possible and stay in the best spirits possible.
I'm pulling for you, Proto. I really hope you get well and everything turns out okay.
Yeah, get well and stuff.
I can't think of an original way to tell you to get better, so I hope you just manage to pick up the pieces, move on with life, and recover. Get better, pr00t.
Good luck man, I wish the best for you.
Thanks Dan and everyone else. Abyway, since you're the only person with some questions, I should answer them.Originally Posted by Kyono
What does this mean for me? Well, it's a life-changing thing, of course. I have to make changes, like how I eat, drink, and live. As for the kidneys, I have been told that both kidneys have been failing on me for months and I haven't been noticing it till weeks prior to my hospital stay. My doctor informed me that my body may have thought my kidneys were some sort of bad thing and was attacking it for weeks.
Of course, how would I know about that? I have been feeling pretty bad for a month, first throwing up, having terrible headaches that would last for days. It was tolerable at first. Then it got worse, where I threw up at least once a day. I feared eating a lot, so I ate as little as I could, and I stayed home resting, hoping I would get better. Anyway, since I have gone to the hospital, I feel a lot better and more confident that I can pull through. I have my family and friends pulling for me and I have faith that I can make it through. :P
As for your last question about the changes I need to make. Yes. There's a bunch. Before, the Internet and EoFF had a big part in me being myself, a lazy person. Of course, since this incident, I've realized that there's more to life than this place and the Net, so I'm trying to limit myself online, or something. That doesn't mean I will leave entirely. I have thought about leaving forums altogether, but that will be hard to do if I still have a computer with net access, so I decided not to. Next, is my diet. I have been put on a renal diet, so I can't have some food that I once love to eat. Like oranges, and bananas to name a few. I can't have dairy products as well, which is a pain. And last, I have to travel to a dialysis center three times weekly to get my blood cleaned. This usually takes three hours, so I get bored with that quite easily. xD
Yes, it's a possibility that I will need a kidney transplant, seeing that both failed on me. However, does that mean I will go for the transplant? Not necessarily. I don't feel comfortable with the idea that my body may reject the donor kidney, so I'm not planning to get a transplant immediately.
Any other questions you guys may have, ask away.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
You are in my prayers, man. Get better soon.
Kidney failure is a very bad thing since everything wrong about kidneys can be horribly painful. Get well soon. *hugs*
now we really must whip the fomer staff into helping Proto! for he is ill! charge brave men and women!!!! Get better soon proto
Making a slow come back since 2008
I'm sorry to hear about your current situation. It really sucks that both of your kidneys failed on you, but you should be glad you're still alive.
It's strange that your body "thought" that the kidneys were not part of your body, thus they got attacked. I mean, in the past, years ago, everything was fine, and now (although it went gradually starting months ago) things didn't work out inside your body. Like your kidneys suddenly became strangers inside your body, although they're still the same kidneys since your birth. So it may have been caused by some external factor, but I wouldn't know what.
Anyhow, the questions already asked here were things that I'd also have liked to ask, but I now know your answers. While it's your own life and you can decide for yourself, I cannot agree with you not accepting a kidney transplantation. Would you rather have your blood cleaned on a machine every single time? I know I wouldn't.
Of course there is a possibility that your transplanted kidney gets rejected, but there is also a possibility that it gets accepted by your body. Don't forget that. It's a fifty-fifty chance. For your own sake, you should gather more information about this. After all, asking for information never hurts and helps you in deciding things. Who knows it won't be so bad at all?
I wish the best for you. May everything work out for you and let's hope things won't get worse. Take care, dude!
I'm really sorry to hear about this, Proto. Best wishes to you, and keep courage, faith, and hope. I do have questions, though: Are the kidneys still in your body? Have they been bypassed or removed? And most importantly, are you aware of other options for treatment? More than anything else, stay informed on your condition. Knowledge is the best weapon. Here's a start.

Both of them?! Awww man, that´s so bad luck or sumpn'. Hope you get better, the best wishes for you!
Sorry to hear about your situation, Proto. It's going to be difficult for you to adjust to your new lifestyle, but I have faith that you'll be okay. I know many people in my religious congregation that have to go through the same thing as you do every day, and they manage it. They're also very positive and inspiring, and I'm sure you'll be the same.
Good luck, and see you around the forums. Even though you won't be posting as much, I'm sure you'll still be as productive as ever.
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
That's rough. I've had kidney infections before and they were awful; I can't even imagine what it must be like to have them completely shut down. Like everyone else, I hope things end up working out for the best, whether you decide to get a transplant later or not.
