Prilosec Saved Me

Prilosec literally saved my life. I have two kinds of kidney disease, both types of renal failure. They had me on 60mg of prednisone, 3 times a day. Lipitor, Lasix, hyroclorothiazide, and a whole slew of blood thinners. And I couldn't keep any of it down. I was dying at age 15. My parents were terrified. We bought a packet of Prilosec thinking "What have we got to loose?" I stopped throwing up. I kept a little food down. As soon as I started keeping it down, my skin got brighter. My eyes weren't fogged over. By day two, my medicine started working. By day three I had started to lose all the water. I peed out 80lbs of water in a week, by urine was trace for protein, and I started building up muscle mass. I am now 20 years old. I still need a kidney, and the hospitals pretty much laugh in my face when a doctor tries to get me on a waiting list. But I'm happy, and I'm married. And I owe it to Prilosec.

I'm very sorry to hear of your health problems, but it is fantastic that Prilosec was able to help you so very much!

Why don't they want to put you on a waiting list for a kidney?

Have you ever tried to find a personal match?
