I am a young 56-year-old woman currently on dialysis due to Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), an autoimmune disease that attacked my kidneys at a young age. My condition worsened in 2017 due to several acute attacks from environmental hazards compounded by a negligent doctor that prescribed an almost lethal amount of Prednisone drug (see pictures above) for kidney related issues; this sent me into renal failure. It caused irreparable damage to my kidneys. I was advised that legal recourse against the negligent doctor would be difficult and tremendously taxing to my already compromised health. Instead, I immediately sought better care, landing with the Mayo Clinic, an internationally renowned medical institution. I am now under the care of a team of doctors who are helping me reach optimal health. Please consider becoming a living donor for me or anyone else that may be struggling with kidney disease. I would like to thank all that have prayed for me and the DaVita and Mayo nurses and staff that have taken good care of me.
