Raven3434 tells us more.
Just to put it out there, he had complete kidney failure. He is now on dialysis. His kidneys are toast and he needs a transplant. Apparently it was caused by years of high blood pressure. His kidneys were in trouble before we even met. And I had been encouraging him to go to the doctor. He had seen a few doctors, but nobody diagnosed him until his lungs were full of fluid. He can't drink too much fluid because he can't get rid of it without dialysis. He cant eat too many fruits or vegetables because he can't process out the extra phosphate and potassium. He also has to limit his sodium, but that wasn't part of my original post. Just wanted to clarify things. Thanks to all of you out there who offered support. Its been a really hard time.

Ugh, sorry OP. I can't see where you're from, but if it's the US, I hope the reason he waited so long to see a doc wasn't a lack of insurance. If so, FYL, and his, indeed.
actually fhl for having a dumbass gf like you.
HA! I concur!
Is he really dead? If yes, sincerous regrets to you.....if not, he's a hell of a lucky guy
#51 - you say moon_mistress's attitude is bad, yet you deride her for her comments, claim that you are intelligent (using appalling spelling and grammar by the way), act as though you are morally superior to your peers because you don't do drugs or sneak into the movies (wtf??). I actually found it quite funny you claim FML is a site ONLY for teens and people in their twenties, and call her old just because she made a disparaging comment about delinquent young people. I have to agree with her; I'm glad there are plenty of juvenile halls as well, and I thought your original comment was totally unjustified (oh, and I'm 22, before you start cracking the ***** with me). I probably wouldn't have bothered replying, but your comment towards the end "have only had sex through rape" really set me off. Since when does rape = sex? Anyway, OP - for any other illness, water and vegies would be good. That sucks that you were accidentally making it worse
How is this an FML? Are you a doctor?
Totally. Kidney donation is a pretty safe procedure that has been shown to have no serious long-term health risks even three or four decades after the operation. It's probably safe even farther out but the operation hasn't been around long enough to test. It would more than make up for feeding him spinach. And even if you are not a match, you could still get him a kidney. Arrangements can be worked out by which you donate to someone whose loved one then donates to your bf.
no this is defiantly not fake. this happened to me.
Whatever criticism dtp882 deserves, I think has been dealt with already. I just want to say that despite his faults might be, it is unjustified to imply that he deserves to go to juvenile hall. If one genuinely wants to teach someone else a lesson, adopting a hypocritical and intolerant attitude is absolutely ineffective and will only yield to flame wars of the type depicted above. It is therefore my opinion that moon_mistress is just as guilty as dtp882. It would seem that either she made the unwarranted judgement that dtp882 must have questionable moral values simply on the basis of his language (and thus deserves to go to juvenile hall), or she believes that using such language is in itself a crime (and thus, again, deserves to go to juvenile hall), a ridiculous notion to anyone who believes in the value of freedom of speech (attributed, probably falsely, to Voltaire: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"). Also, if dtp882 had turned out to be, say, 35, would moon_mistress have responded in the same way? "I'm glad there are jails"? I don't think so. Just an opinion. Like it or hate it... but I hope I've given you something to think about. Please, critically examine the assumptions you are making.

You must feel like shit. FYL. But it's not your fault.
