Building a Future Amidst Life’s Challenges

Hi Mighty Community,

First, I want to start by apologizing for my absence lately. Life has been a whirlwind, and I haven’t been as active as I’d like to be here. But I’ve been working on something close to my heart, and I can’t wait to share it with you all soon.

Over the past few months, I’ve been pouring my energy into designing a website—a project that means the world to me. It’s not just a website; it’s a step toward building a stable future for myself and my two children. This journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s one that I’m determined to take, for their sake and mine.

This community has been a source of strength and inspiration for me. If it weren’t for the stories I’ve read here, the encouragement I’ve received, and the connection I’ve felt with all of you, I don’t know if I would have found the courage to take this leap. Being part of The Mighty has shown me that I’m not alone, and that even in the darkest moments, there’s hope and support to lean on.

Thank you for being here for me, for lifting me up, and for reminding me that even when life feels overwhelming, I can rise above it. I can’t wait to share my project with you soon and hear your thoughts

It's that time of year

When my husband was diagnosed kidney disease my life turned upside down. It's also when my health started to really go south. I became a widow 1 1/2 years later. My son and I had to live off the check I received as his death benefits from his dad and food stamps cause I kept getting denied disability. Celebrating holidays just weren't the same nor could be afforded. Then when I got with my torturous abusive ex his Christmas present to me was the first time his hit me. I hate holidays. Even worse my daughter quit having anything to do with me due to my flashbacks. Which also removed my grandsons from my life. She use to invite me over for every holiday, even offering to pick me up. My youngest son moved 45 minutes away but we talk on the phone at least once a week. When I was a kid growing up, families put their differences aside and all got together every holiday. That's what holidays mean to me. Instead I spend them alone. So instead of holiday season; it's depression season for me.

Getting ready for dialysis 😦🥺💪

Well, today I woke up very optimistic, but as quickly as I look at the mirror, see how much fluid has accumulated in my body, especially in my face, I feel that its features have disappeared. 😞 But I keep telling my self that I'm going through this battle for my kids, I gotta win 🙏

Absolutely heartbroken

I had to put my beautiful boy Wicket (cat) to sleep today. He had kidney disease and just let's us know that it was time. I spent the day at the vets yesterday because one of my other cats River was sick. I thought yesterday was her time, but trying to treat her with a variety of things. Wicket was 11.

Kidney Biopsy

Hey guys!
I have concerns i want to share with someone who could have been trough the same thing.
I had a biopsy done on my left kidney last Tuesday (July 30th) and i still have pain going from my back to my side to my belly. I didn't know what to expect going into it, but i didn't think it would last this long. I would like to know if any of you went through a biopsy and how long did it take for the pain to go away and get back to a normal routine.
Thank you ! #Fibromyalgia #KidneyDisease

________ would help me feel more calm about my health.

When you live with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), it can be challenging to manage the demands, needs, and treatment that come with it. Reaching a state of calm and balance may mean taking intentional steps or seeking help if necessary (or it may even look like getting answers!). What would help you feel more calm about your health?
