“No one knew I battled stage 4 chronic kidney disease, and it was because of drug abuse” - Ufuoma

[@justinaabban7739]

I love the tone of her voice. She is not a loud person. I admire you ma'am from the scenes of "my mom and I"

[@olagerdollar]

Wait a minute! She went from stage 4 kidney disease to stage three and she’s shining like this and looking healthier than some people as if she’s kidney disease free. That means She will be glowing once certified free and I decree that in you Ufuoma. What a courageous lady, so for the past 12 years we have been watching your movies and your supportive girl friends Chioma, Uche and omoboleh on social media you have been down with kidney disease, you are a very strong woman. Thanks for sharing your story.

@@diabeekwe9493 I once worked in the hospital H3 Africa Kidney Research Unit in a teaching hospital to be precise, I have seen few persons cured of CKD. One of them is a Muslim man who was on dialysis for more than a year. When asked how he did it he said he was eating more of vegetables, fruits and water, but I saw the miraculous power of God.

There is no cure for CKD like many other terminal ailments but it can be reversed. If she can move from Stage 4 to 3, it can be 2 or 1 and finally free..

[@kayusyussuf]

This is so painful and refreshing to watch at the same time. This lady does not even look like the pain she has gone through and the most refreshing thing is how she is wishing to help others, how she kept saying I pray God opens people’s eyes. Wow. Glad you are wiser and I wish you a long life to not just help others but to enjoy your wonderful family. So much strength

[@olufunkeidowu9931]

Ufuoma sharing this is speaking directly to me. I dont and have never abused prescription drugs, infact i don't take any form of medicine. But i don't rest well! I dont sleep at night. 2am , 3am 4qm, 5amni am stil awaking working, creating my crafts. This has weighted my kidneys and heart down. This is also a form of self abuse, inflicting bodily harm on oneself. I have developed swollen legs for over 2 years now and am trying to get my health back now with natural foods Drinking lots of water, cucumber juices, beetroot juices, garic ,ginger , mango, lemon grass leaf tea. Avoiding cooked foods asmmuch as possible too And most importantly going to bed by 9pm daiy. Thank you, Chude and Ufuoma for the wake-up call. By not subjecting our bodies to all manners of food( yes, bad food ) and drug abuse, we honour our bodies and God

[@eunicepopo6978]

So sorry about ur health and Pray healing I. Jesus Name. But pls beetroot is high in protein and will increase the protein in ur urine. Try avoiding highprotein meals and meals high in creatinine like chicken. That's how have managed mine also in the last 6yrs and with medications and regular check up as well

[@yalaking01]

Olufunke, thank you. The worst part for me is that I'm a medical student and I know exactly how bad lifestyle affects health. You just described my routine. After these next two weeks of exam, I'll be back to healthy food, exercise, and good lifestyle.

[@stormieblaze510]

Funke, please do something about the swollen legs. Being a medical student you know what it can mean. Get it checked out and rule out any major issues. Try to start walking 30mins per day. All the best.

Also, when people feel ok and you advice them about healthy living, they tend to rubbish it until the worst happens. Whatever decisions you make, you'll receive the judgement here on earth.
