kidney failure

[anarulesmenow]

last year i attempted suicide by taking a number of paracetamol.i ended up in hospital but they never actually did anything to me, despite the fact i was nearly passing out everywhere.i have heard that kidney failure can take years to properly develop, and i think that it may be developing in me.since my incident, i have experienced the signs of kidney failure more and more and now they are really really strong.im kinda worried but dont know what to do

Humm.... Maybe Talkt to your doctor about it? Maybe there is something you can take?

I suggest you go to your Doctor ASAP & tell them your symptoms. Ask them for a blood test to test you kidney function & your liver too.

It may also be an infection that is causing you to have these symptoms.

I hope you get it seen to.

:hug:

I agree with Claire..You need to have labs run to see if everything is functioning properly..

What age are you?

Usually you can make a Doctor's appointment without parental consent.

Can you not ask a friend to go with you?

I know it's scary sometimes but it's better to get this checked out hun.

I know it's scary. But you really need to get to a doctor to have this checked out.

 

[anarulesmenow]

i dunno what id say though or if the doctors would take me seriously

 

[~Claire]

They would hun, these things have to be taken seriously.

Please make an appt.

did you go? acetaminophen causes liver failure, which can lead to kidney failure. I think your kidneys have cleared it by now though. Not a doctor but I haven't heard of this phenomenon.
