I have just been told that I have chronic kidney failure. I never suspected and now I want to begin educating myself. I have had mental confusion, brief conscious lapses which has led to serious falls which have broken bones and shattered my confidence. I am frightened & feel very vulnerable. I have been to doctors regularly still I didn t know. Now I am afraid of diet, medications, treatment. I have trigeminal neuralgia & when 4 surgeries didn t help I went the pharmaceutical route. I don t know how much more damage that I can expect without the correct treatment. My mental and emotional processing is empaired and I need help with making a simple beginning. Thanks, Judy Smith
