I am dealing with a very chronic kidney disease called, Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis. There is no cure for the disease and there is only treatment. Here is a link that you can go to for more information about it if you want to: www.nephcure.org/fsgs-facts. It is very interesting. I take lots of pills everyday. Here is a list of medicines i take: Tacrolimus (Prograf) 7mg 2 times perday; Furosemide (Lasix) 20mg 2 tabs 2x per day; Lisinipril (prinivil/zestril) 5mg - 1 tab 2x daily; Simvastatin (zocor) 40mg - once a day; Ergocalciferol Vitamin D2 (drisdrol) 50,00 units; Prednisone (deltasone) 10mg - every other day; Omeprazole (prilosec) 20mg - 2x per day; Calcium- Vitamin D3 (calcet) 100mg 1tab every day. There is somewhat of what i go through but i am not on dialysis cause i still have full function of my kidney's. If you would like to know more then just shoot me a message and i will be more that glad to share with you what i have found out in my research. Thanks.
