tory of Kidney Disease follows the journey of my family members and our history of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). The stories we share demonstrate how PKD affects us differently, physically, emotionally, and in all other aspects of our lives. While technical information about the disease is available, there's less about how people feel and cope with the symptoms. This story is about the similarities and differences in our experiences with PKD. Writing these stories has been cathartic for our family, and we hope that by sharing our story, we can support others in their journey with Polycystic Kidney Disease.
