Life with FSGS!

Focal secmental glomeruloscerosis is a little known kidney disease that can effect anyone at anytime. It is a more common disease today than what one might think. What it basicly is, is the hardening of the kidneys. You can do this through long use of arthritis medications like Arthrotec and a diet high in salt and potassium. I was diagnosed with FSGS in October of 2012. I am a Stage 4, a step below before going in for dialysis. Right now, I am fine. But I know that one wrong thing could send me to dialysis. So eat well and don't gain the weight!
