Hello!

Hello there! I made this blog so I could more easily communicate what's going on with my newly discovered PKD!

It all started last April, when I began getting weird bowel problems. The problems persisted and more symptoms appeared and progressively got worse. After a colonoscopy and many, many doctor visits, one decided to actually look into my problem instead of dismissing it as "not enough fiber" and period pains.

Thus, my PKD was discovered on July 26th 2013.

As you could imagine, it was very left-field and unexpected. It is apparently genetic and, if it is traditional, my siblings each have a 50% chance of also having it. There is a 10% chance that I am the first mutation and none of my family has it.

So anyway, here it is! Welcome and enjoy...I guess :)
