Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I am so bummed. After a lengthy appt with my urologist..he has declared it would not be safe for me to continue to train hard enough to complete this year's NYC marathon. I did a 3 day urinary test (collected it all) and blood tests and apparantly I have major calcification issues putting pressure on my kidneys. It may get to the stage where I will need long term meds to control it. As for now, I can work out but not a marathon training intensity. I am banned from drinking coke (which is ok because I havent had a sip since I was admitted to hospital on May 9th), and I am on a strict diet. The next few weeks will be several appts with kidney and urology specialists. I am really upset I cant do the auction. I am sure this stone problem is a side effect of the DS..but I still have no regrets. Just bummed that one of my goals is now on the backburner.. Kristy P.S Feel very petty worrying about this while is in such a state..I am very glad for the health I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
