My AA Story – Cristina Arroyo
Back in 2015, I went to see my primary care manager (PCM) several times because of fatigue and feeling feverish (when I didn’t have a fever). My muscles and bones were hurting. I was also retaining water, my feet and ankles were huge. I switched PCM around September of 2015 and told her what was going on, how I felt tired all the time, etc.
She took the time and ran tests. I received a call from a nephrology doctor saying that my PCM had referred me to her and she needed to see me ASAP (I go to military hospitals). I went and she explained to me that my kidneys were failing but she didn’t know why. I am not diabetic, so that was ruled out. I have high blood pressure, but under control.
