    Or longer. My aunt was diagnosed with failing kidneys, but the doc’s were having difficulty understanding why. She’d never had a problem with diabetes or the usual causes. Then she explained how she’d been covering up her back pain for years using pain meds.

    Now she’s having dialysis sessions a couple times a week. Doc gives her a few more years of this, unless some miracle occurs and she finds a replacement kidney. Miserable way to go.
