Well, I knew i had it for a few years but the doctors i'd seen before didn't seem all that concerned with doing anything with it since they kept pushing meds at me that weren't affecting it.
I don't have a lot of restrictions on diet, really. I can eat fried foods, sugar, and whatever as long as it's sodium free. Can you imagine a french fry without salt on it though? I have to watch my liquid intake as well. The liquid is the hardest to deal with... no more unlimited coffee sitting at my elbow and so on.
