Hi Bill,
Thanks for being the mod! I am very happy to have this site, I was hoping to find others that have what I do...well good for them that they do not : ) there are so many types of kidney problems that it would be hard to find anyone to cover them all (hopefully!).
I also go to nephcure that is another good resource. I'm currently doing IVF and interestingly prior to that I got off the blood pressure meds which kept my ankles from swelling. They swelled up again but now that I am on Lupron shots for IVF the swelling has gone down and less proteins in my urine again.....
