Most of you know me from my YouTube channel so you’ve been on the journey with me since March 2022 when I had the worst gout attack of my life which led directly into months of foot and knee problems up until my kidney failure diagnosis (end stage renal disease). The cause of my kidney failure is glomerulonephritis, an autoimmune disease.

For 3.5 years I battled kidney failure using various dialysis modalities including :

• In-clinic hemodialysis for ~5 months
• Peritoneal dialysis for ~2 years
• Home hemodialysis for ~10 months 

During this journey, I received 7 blood transfusions, battled multiple infections of my peritoneum, blood, ear, and face, mostly due to side effects or complications from kidney failure or dialysis. I also suffered significant muscle wasting in my legs, neuropathy of the feet, hormone imbalances, elevated liver enzymes, bouts of fatigue, and skin color changes.  To say that this was a hard and long fought battle would be an understatement. I pray for anyone who has kidney failure or has to do dialysis to stay alive.
