Once I hear that “PKD looks good on you”, it really make me appreciated about
it. Here are the share suggestions about how to live well with PKD.
1. If you live in a PKD family, an appropriate diet management is suggested,
especially for the one who is with the disease. Avoid fast food, since there is
rich sodium and some of it hardly qualifies as food. Maybe you are still fast
food junkies now, but try to quit it from today.
2. Again with the same problem, that is high level of sodium, you need limit
the pre-packaged food. Try to cook much more fresh stuff and vegetables. The
dietician at the PKD conference said that eat the rainbow will benefit your
disease. This is why I bought an eggplant yesterday. If you have not idea how to
cook it, you can ask a free help from our free online dietician.
3. After check up with my doctors, I cut out all caffeine beverage and soda
for they can help speed up the growth of cysts. I also quit chocolate, curry
food for they worsen my back pain and flank pain. Luckily, what I do really
helps me a lot. I have experienced numb toes I don’t know how PKD affect them,
but I guess it is induced by the kidneys pushing up against my spinal cord.
After withdrawal of these bad drinks, I never undergo the symptoms again.
However, once I drink a caffeine beverage, named Dr. Pepper, the numbness and
pain come back. This is why I will check up the label before I buy any can
drinking.
The result of this subtle yet definite change in diet management that your
friend will notice the a subtle yet very definite shift in your shape. “PKD live
well with you and looks good on you.” This is what I heard from my friend last
night. It may not be the most sweaty words I have heard, but it make me feel
good. Why I live well with PKD? Not only because every woman likes to think
she's attractive, but also because it means that I must be doing something
right.
