Polycystic kidney disease
Hi My husband is suffering from Polycystic kidney disease(PKD).His father had sudden kidney failure at the age of 68 and the doc told us that his father had been suffering from PKD. The doc asked my husband and his siter to get tested and that is when we found that my husband also has PKD. There are multiple cysts in both kidneys and the kidney's are starting to get enlarged now. All kidney functions are normal there are no cysts in liver or elsewhere. He has no pain anywhere.

Describe your main suffering?
Have been diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney disease with multiple cysts in both kidneys largest measuring 2 cm. Kidney size 14 cm (left and right). High BP for the last 10 years being treated with BP medications to keep it in control. Apart from this no other ailment or aches and pains. Lab test show liver test normal , ESR normal, creatinine normal, uric acid borderline, glucose normal, urine is clear no protein no blood.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
Mild back pain sometimes which is muscular. Especially when I go to the gym then I get some aches and pains in my body which are relieved by relaxing o resting.
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
Knowledge of my disease(PKD) has not depressed me or caused me any undue pain mentally. It has just made me aware of the fact that it is time for a lifestyle change to live a healthy and hopefully a longer life. My work is the most important thing in my life it is a challenge for me which I take up every day and I strive on the stress of my work. I look at it as a new challenge- or I should say I work my best under stress!
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?
A little sad but I get over it very fast.
5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
The diagnosis of my disease came about when my father had a sudden collapse in 2004 and doc told us that his kidneys had failed and that he has PKD. The doc asked me and my sister to get checked for PKD, we both did my sister does not have PKD whereas I do. Since then I have had three ultrasounds all saying the same PKD with multiple cysts- my kidney size has increased from 11 cm to 14cm since 2004. Apart from that no symptoms.
6. Which time of the day you are worst?
There are no symptoms to be feeling worse.
7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?
As I said earlier there are no symptoms to be worse about or feel better about. Therefore there is nothing which will aggravate my suffering as there are no physical sufferings apart from high BP. Even when my BP is high I dont have any symptoms like headaches etc
8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
NO
9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
I feel best in cold weather I do not like hot humid weather
10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.
I am a very adaptable agreeable changeable person. I dont take offense easily, or argue on small things. I am neither moody nor nervous or suspicious. I always give other people a chance to explain their side before giving my opinion. I do not express my love openly nor do I show my emotions. I am however a little lazy when it comes to doing exercise or doing housework.
- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm?
Nothing
- Do you like being consoled during your tough times?
sometimes
- Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc?
No
- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless
weeping, talking to one self etc?
Not at all. The only habit I have is I think a lot about everything including my work and life in general and analyze everything and come to a rational conclusion.
- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?
I love my friends and my entire family. I do not show my love very openly like saying I love you every time but as I said I love my entire family- including my parents , sister and wife and children a lot. I believe in doing my best for all. I do not openly show any kind of emotion.
11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?
I rarely dream and even when I do it is mostly work related. There are no repeated dreams.
12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions?
I like to fresh squeezed juices of all fruits and I love lemony drink especially fresh lime soda. I love mangos and strawberries. I love having yellow lentils (toor dal) especially pistas, walnuts and almonds. I love to have all kinds of nuts. . I am basically a rice eater. I am a vegetarian though I eat eggs.
I do not like aerated drinks like coke etc. I hate OKRA (bhindi). Also I am not fond of chickpeas.
13. How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive?
I would say more than normal I usually have 2 and half litres of water every day
14. How if your hunger: Less, Normal or Excessive?
Normal hunger
15. Is there any kind of food which your body cant stand?
Nothing I can think of

17. How is your bowel movement and stool type?
I have normal bowel movement every day at the same time of the day and it is always smooth
18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping?
I sleep fairly well- say 6-7 hours at a stretch- but small noises tend to wake me up. Whatever time I sleep I get up at 7 without an alarm. I love to sleep in the afternoon that sleep is very sound and minor noises do not trouble me then. I sleep on my side with my hand tucked under my head.
19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general?
Yes definitely
20. How do you think you are different from others, if at all?
I think minor or petty things should not affect ones life or I should say that I do not let petty or minor grievances affect my life. I dont worry of how my PKD is going to affect my life in the future. I know it is going to be a major change in life but I will deal with when the time comes. I dont want to worry about things which are likely to affect my life later. What is not in our hands should be left alone and not worried about is my motto.
21. What medications have been taken earlier by you to treat the diseases and do you have any particular symptom surfacing after the medication?
I am taking medication to control high BP - which includes a ARB, BETA BLOCKER AND CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER. I am also taking one tablet to lower cholesterol levels. No changes in anything after taking these medications.
