Today, my boyfriend found out that he has kidney failure. He was feeling sick for a few weeks and I had told him to drink lots of fluids and eat vegetables. Apparently that is really bad for kidney patients. I was killing him with water and spinach salads. FML

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.

dtp882, this website used to be full of people in their 20s, mostly college students. Then 13-year-olds like you came in and turned it all to shit. I mean, you're getting upset that people are reacting negatively to you trolling the place? I don't get it. If you're going to act like a little baby, people are going to treat you like a little baby.

He should have went to the doctor's sooner, and if the OP knew that he has a kidney failure, she should have looked it up before giving advice that might resulted in his death. Ignorance kills! At least you didn't really kill him and he's still alive, right?

You tried to play little miss doctor, despite being completely and utterly unqualified for the role. The only difference between you and a quack is that you only nearly killed one person, as opposed to professional quacks who succeed in killing many people. If you do not have any sort of medical education, DO NOT GIVE MEDICAL ADVICE! "Common sense" is no replacement for having any clue whatsoever what you're talking about! YDI, and he deserves it too for listening to some random chick off the street (which is all you are, when it comes to medical education) instead of a qualified professional.

Ok she wasn't giving him hardcore medical advice, simply telling him to eat vegetables and drink water. Like every good parent tells their child. Should they not say that to their child because they're not pediatricians? Same principle.

I am very sorry about your boyfriend.. but if you seriously think about it.. maybe you should have looked into his illness first instead of doing the whole.. obvious sickness treatment. you can't blame ourself for trying to help.. but you really should have just left it to a professional.

Before taking it into your own hands and treating your boyfriends illness, ensure you read up about it, especially the bit where it tells you what not to do... instead of relying on assumptions..
