I was just recently diagnosed with FSGS, I havent' started treatment yet, as they are trying to figure out if it is primary or secondary. (I'm being seen at the Mayo clinic). I am in stage 3-4 of kidney failure, and I am scared to death.

Thanks so much for introducing me to the inf. kidney school .I really was able to understand and get a better outlook on the disease and what was entailed in the rx. I guess the most important thing is a positive attitude. the one thing that I was very apprehensive about was the needles and after reading the artlcle I felt a lot better Again Thanks
