How Pain Killers Damaged My Kidney – Actress Ufoma McDermott

Nollywood actress, Ufoma McDermott, has narrated how her battle with kidney disease was traced to long term painkillers abuse.

The actress made this known during her latest interview with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

Speaking on her 12-year battle with kidney disease, the actress advised the general public to prioritise their health.

While revealing that her condition was a side effect of long-term painkiller abuse, McDermott said; “I really wish everyone would understand the importance of health. My brother was diagnosed late on stage 4 of kidney disease and he goes straight into dialysis and has complications.

“I was diagnosed earlier, so I have lived on medication for almost 12 years now. When my brother I ran to my cardiologist. My parents were scared, thinking if this is genetic? We had to trace the kidney disease and we learned it was from drug abuse.

“I grew up with migraines, headaches and eyeaches, and I never wore my glasses because they made me look like a geek. I’d take painkillers for my migraine. I took strong painkillers and not the ordinary painkillers because I wanted the pain to go away.”
