- I have very bad anxiety and I never was like this when I was a kid I was in fact very outgoing. It seemed to hit me when I got the disease, I try to fight it myself but no matter what I do it won't go away. Does anxiety occur because of PKD?
- I finally told that know it all doctor off. He of course said I was irrational and that he was trying to help. Right dude you get in my face and say no matter how hard I try to lose weight even if it is a small amount that its not good enough. He...
- I was thinking about whether my kidneys are large or not I don't know they haven't done an ultrasound but I get frequent pain and I heard that is why I hurt. My nurse thinks since I don't waddle when I walk and I don't look pregnant (from the size...

- I have these red freckle looking marks on both sides of my face. My dad says it is a sign of PKD. But I never heard anybody else mentioning something like this. Is this a sign or just a skin problem?
- My sister doesn't have PKD but my dad is convinced she is a carrier will that affect her from donating to me a kidney?
