As in health wise?
This thread may be a bit morbid, self indulgent and basically a load of waffle that makes no sense lol.
I have Stage 3 CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) I had reflux as a baby and an op at about the age of 5 and had problems ever since.
My kidneys were OK until I was about 18 when my BP went up, then I had my kids and now I take such a high dosage of Blood Pressure meds not to mention because of this I have high cholesterol and have to take Statins. My iron is low so am on Iron meds as well.
Last year I was also diagnosed with Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovaries and Cervical Erosion and had to have more surgery. I find out as well that in April my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and because both my Mum and sister were in their 40's and also our great aunties had it, now myself, other sister and niece now have to be tested for a faulty gene that if we have got it, puts us at an 80% increased risk of developing a female cancer!
I have been to the hospital and referred for genetic counselling but the consultant wants me to have regualar screening, but because I am not even 30 yet I can't have a mamogram, but will need an MRI....
Issue... I have kidney disease and MRI's in patients with any kind of kidney damage can cause another health problem which can be fatal therefore patiens with kidney damage are advised against MRI's
So all of that together, my kidneys, possible increase risk of female cancer, the other "downstairs" issues which also increase cancer and the risk of MRI's makes me feel like I am fighting a losing battle IYSWIM.
Ugh... bit of a poo day today... Roll on tomorrow. Sorry for waffling, feel a tad better though.
