Is it just me or does kidney disease suck?

No need to be sorry. I love talking about my sickness so that I can aware people n my frenz. My both kidney failed and shrank. This is called end stage/final stage or Stage five Chronic Kidney Disease. I discovered it this march through Hypertension Retinopathy. I was in Dubai (UAE) where i faced shadow in my vision which blocked my visibility. I was not even able to cross the road there. So, I somehow with the help of my friends returned to my home country where I met my Opthalmologist who said that it seems the case of Hypertension. He immediately referred me to the physician who asked me to do labs where my Ultrasound report said shrank kidney and Cretanine level 17 (extremely dangerous). He referred me to the Nephro who put me on dialysis. By that time I had started nausea and lack of appetite. I could never eat properly before HD. Nephro said I was carrying high blood pressure for ages which went unnoticed or the signs were ignored and as a result it damaged the kidney and was stepping forward towards retina. And yes i had a BP stroke in Feb '21 which i really ignored. Wish I had taken BP meds regularly.
