      Thank you for your advice, help and kind words. I do truly appreciate it. Your right i do need a support system and friends. I had never heard of PKD until I was diagnosed, I said what the heck is that? Ihope we can talk more in the future!

      My headache is not as all encompassing but still remains. The antibiotic that I'm taking is supposed to work gradually. It is a new one for me by the name of Bioxin. I am hoping for complete relief by the end of the week.

      Luckily for me i worked in a health food store at one time. It was a very interesting job, I learned a lot about natural supplements. Any time I'm forced to take antibiotics I always make sure to supplement with a good quality probiotic. I also make efforts to include them in my daily diet.
      It's too bad there aren't more doctors available with the same understanding of how well they work because it would be great if MD's were able to let patients know the benefits of starting a good probiotic in conjunction with the antibiotics.

      I think it's great that both you and yours sister were able to get transplants. I hope you have great success with your new kidney and that it lasts you many years. What a special person you married :)
