 My Recent Bypass Surgery
Joni,
God Bless You!!! I've recently been diagnosed with FMD and had a renal artery bypass. My blood pressure was so high that even being on 5 meds at once could not control it. The bypass didn't go well as we hoped and I've ended up loosing 2/3rds of my kidney. The good news is my blook pressure is down tremendously. I knew there would be a chance of this out come but the Doctors felt I'ld loose it eventually and was at an extreme high of a risk for a stroke due to my high blood pressure.
I just wanted to let you know that I admire your strength!!! FMD needs to come to the forefront for testing and research. We can make a difference, as you have to mental disposition.
