PKD: Polycystic kidney disease. Putting an end to it is a fabulous idea!
National Kidney Month is marked each year in March.
I've never liked talking about myself, but in late February
my husband urged me to post the 31 Day Challenge initiated by the PKD Foundation.
I did, and that forced me to talk about myself and my PKD diagnosis. I wrote about that here, on Feb. 29.
My hope in spreading the word about the challenge was that I'd not only raise awareness, but also meet others diagnosed with PKD.
That didn't happen.
But I'll continue to write about PKD, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, and a myriad of other chronic conditions, because awareness is important.
I'll leave you with these factoids about PKD I posted a while back.
