THE REASONS FOR MY ILLNESS

I have stage 5 kidney disease or else known as end stage renal disease or ESRD. I was diagnose with this disease at the beginning of August 2010. I am still getting use to this disease and i have accepted the fact that there is no cure for this disease but with dialysis i still can maintain an acceptable standard of life.

Why i was affected by this disease ? my firsr thoughts was to tear open my shirt kneel down look up to the heavens and shout WHY ME !!! WHY ME !!! but on reflection i realise my life choices may have lead me to ESRD

I am a singaporean guy in my mid 40s fat and have always been delinquent towards my health. I am a guy who loves to eat but i do not drink liquor or smoke but eating have always been a passion and my favourite past time. Did i say i am fat well I AM FAT !!!

I have accepted my condition and i am undergoing test to see if i can qualify for a kidney transplant. My daily goal is now to be pain free and to not be a burden to others

I might get criticise for this but i am grateful for the singapore govt policy towards health care
