I just have to share my latest experience...I was diagnosed with MCD in March...My neph wanted me to start immediately on pred...i was reluctant and insisted on trying holistic methods...i.e. nutritionists and accupuncture..etc...while this was helpful..and my chol. and bp has come down..i still am spilllng protein in my urine..my neph seems to have lost patience with me..while i, all along, have lost a certain degree of confidence in him..I did my research as to other nephrologists...emailing several listed on this very site..and TODAY i met with a dr. who has completely explained my medical condition to me in a way which was both non-alarming and so helpful...WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DIFFERENT DOCTOR CAN MAKE!!!! my message is...listen to your gut...if you are not satsfied DO THE RESEARCH...there is so much info out there....and there are some phenominal physicians there who are brilliant and who take the time to listen and care about you the patient!!!!!!!! good luck....
