Hello, My name is Joey. I'm diagnosed with end stage renal failure, a rare disorder called CIDP neuropathy, diabetes, CKD anemia, sleep apnea, anemia, peripheral artery disease, hypertension, heart disease, I've got 3 stents in my heart and I've had retinal surgery on my left eye because it was becoming detached. I've had a heart attack and almost died multiple times due to complications with my illnesses. I take a lot of medication and I'm on dialysis 3 times a week. At the beginning of 2019 I was also diagnosed with a rare infection that’s in the same family of tuberculosis, called Mycobacterium abscessus. I went through daily antibiotics through IV for 4 months.
