One person described the emotional journey with kidney disease this way:

"I do pretty well at following my treatment plan and working closely with my healthcare team. That's the easy part. But my emotions are like a roller coaster that won't stop. If I could make sense out why I'm feeling like I do on a given day, I could manage my whole life a lot better."
