Thanks so much.

As far as my kidney disease. My sister (brittle diabetic) died 12 years after a transplant failed. I saw what she went through with the first failure, and the transplant. I know the great expense involved. I have good insurance (BCBS federal retired), but I do not feel the expense is worth it. I decided to take my life as it comes, and come what may. There is no way I will saddle my husband and son with bills that may bankrupt them.

I did start taking vitamin B1 last month after reading the story on DU about the reversal of kidney damage. I have an appointment with my Nephrologist on Tuesday. We'll see if it has made any difference.
