Symptom narrative

In July of 2021 I began experiencing blood in my stools. A little while later I began to notice some chances to my body and health. I am not certain of the date, but a month or 2 after receiving my second vaccine, I noticed my urine was becoming more foamy and smelt off. A few months later, I experienced swelling in my ankles. The swelling continued and I experienced significant pitting in my legs. I saught medial attention, and was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, and after a biopsy was completed of my kidney tissue I was diagnosed with Focal Segmental Glumerial Sclerosis. I have been managing this disease since diagnosis in August of 2022.
