Glad to hear you're ok considering how dangerously close to collapsing you were. That level of creatinine is absolutely nuts.

A friend of mine had problem with her kidneys (kidney stones from a lack of water) and I literally had to carry from the bathroom. The renal system is no joke. Your blood is what moves you.

I wonder if the no carbs diet is what really did you in. Despite eating more meat, the jump in levels is extremely abnormal. I'd be interested to hear what your doctor had to say about it and a little more about what you ate this past month, if you feel comfortable sharing.

I am well pleased to see you are not dead, ShyGuy. Be sure to tell us about your kidneys, and if you met any hot nurses in the hospital

So this is why you haven't posted much. I thought you were just getting bored with the site... that certainly would have been a better outcome! I'm glad you got through it, and I hope you take care of yourself in the future.

ah man, you're one of my favorite forumers and a minecrafting buddy. Thats one thing I hate about the internet, many times someone can just pass away and because there's some anonymity to the internet(although im friends with Shyguy on myspace and I think facebook) you can't always find out if something happens to one of your comrades.
So get better buddy!

Kinda late, but wanted to add that I am glad you are OK now.

Any further updates on what was wrong with you?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #31 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:04:12 AM »

They did a biopsy and said my glomerular were 90% scarred over. They don't know what the cause was, but high blood pressure was probably a partial factor. I am on dialysis now and looking towards a kidney transplant.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #32 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:30:04 AM »

I wouldn't call that okay... but you are alive, so that much is good. Dialysis must suck. I'm sorry you have to be on that... hopefully you can get that kidney you need.

To save people wondering, it appears he has this. Please for the love of god, don't read too much into in or else you will end up self diagnosing. This is also why they treat Kidney stones seriously as the symtoms are hard to differentiate.

I'll keep you in my prayers, ShyGuy. I really hope you get that transplant.

Stogi · « **Reply #36 on:** January 28, 2012, 09:38:04 PM »

Best wishes ShyGuy and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

But something is bothering me and I gotta ask. After dialysis, why can't they simply take the kidney out? We have two of them, and you only need one to live.

oohhboy · « **Reply #37 on:** January 29, 2012, 04:26:04 AM »

The problem it is caused by a systemic issue, it nailed both his kidneys at the same time. The protein pickling was only a symptom, not the cause. If it was a Kidney infection or an STD, he would have been far better off since it more than likely only would have only affected only one Kidney.

That and it would have implied he got laid, abet with someone who wasn't clean. Maybe a sister.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #38 on:** January 31, 2012, 01:27:20 AM »

If I get the transplant, I'll have THREE kidneys.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #39 on:** February 04, 2013, 07:20:56 PM »

Guess who is getting a kidney? I should have a new kidney at the end of March! With this new power I'll be UNSTOPPABLE

Hahahahahaha, oh S-U-P-E-R.

That's awesome, ShyGuy. Hope you get to full power soon.

Good luck, hope it's not a lemon, shaped and painted like a kidney.

I hope you like my stitch pattern, and I think I left you a bottle of vicodins on the edge of the sink...

I wouldn't get too excited yet. Your "check" still hasn't cleared, and by check, I mean wire transfer to my international account.

Grats on the Kidney.

Wanna hear a weird fact? After the transplant, I have to wear SPF 45 Sunblock everyday. I also can't eat grapefruit.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #47 on:** February 05, 2013, 12:40:15 PM »

Unless you season the grapefruit with SPF 45.

Caliban · « **Reply #48 on:** February 05, 2013, 01:00:40 PM »

What harm do the grapefruits do, but not any other citrus?

Here is a webMD article on it. Its a little old but it breaks down to that Grapefruit can make some drugs more potent.
