So, you smoke, do drugs, and have PKD?

Sorry, but, I lost someone close that I love to kidney failure... I could never get into another relationship and go that experience again... it would take me to the grave with depression too.
@wistful i ocassionally smoke tobacco, smoked to date 152 cigarettes/cigars/pipes in total (besides 1 parejo-styled cigar, a tin of 20 unfiltered cigarillos, single flavored filtered cigarillos) i mostly went round asking for free cigarettes and was occasionally given free shredded tobacco leaf pouches and a couple of cigarettes at one time. Kept count to inform doctor probably soon, which i've smoked over 2 years, from late-2017 to late-2019 (maybe to now, so 2 1/2 years), i infrequently drink alcohol, but generally don't keep count, cause if cider/perry, cocktails, i treat it as soft drinkesque, i am yet to try marijuana in some form, never known where to get it from.


I haven't been a big druggie, whilst i label myself a "druggie", only the legally suppliable, "over-the-counter" types that are popularly consumed to intoxicate.


I mean herbals, fungals and supplements are foodesque and pharmaceuticalesque, whilst pharmaceuticals are pharmaceutical. If on a spectrum, food at the lowest/highest, second lowest/third highest would be foodesque (unaltered), third lowest/second highest pharmaceuticalesque (altered) and lowest/highest (depending on which way ranked) pharmaceutical/analog of pharmaceutical (synthetic). So yeah, pretty weak, as natural is, even altered. Less is more with pharmaceutical, cause potent synthetic, more is less with weak naturals.


Unfortunately, i have pkd, learned from about 13 or 14 that i have it in both kidneys, it sucks but its my reality
