    • Close Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

      57 years old next week. Was first dx'd with PKD in my early 20s. A total of 3 flare ups in my lifetime. Since hitting menopause my middle has increased greatly. Doctor said growth is "impressive." Stomach gets full with 3 or 4 bites of food can feel on the outside of my body when I have to have a bowel movement. Nutrition? Being new to this whole thing, I'm not sure how "severe" my condition is. I do know that both kidneys, liver and bladder are effected. PAIN?
