One Day at a time here

One Day at a time here

hello everyone 😎

Was not sure where to write this

so, I have started a new thread

thank you @Oaktree , @Ru-bee for thinking of me today 😍

my results from the doctor was not really good

  • my Kidney function have decreased to 17%
  • my Liver and diabetes levels are up
  • I have Osteoporosis which i will need medication as my bone density has decreased because of the kidney disease
  • they believe that the Liver function is up because of the kidney disease
  • Kidney disease affects every part of your body
  • scan also shows the tinny of my kidney

Re: One Day at a time here

Very true @Jynx

People do not realise or understand

My cousin has " oh you look OK " or " can't you just get a transplant "

A transplant list is very very long and you have to wait for years

Or can't the doctors do something- my condition has to get worse first

Hugs for your parents @Jynx 🥰

Like my mum , whatever she ate or drank she would still lose weight

Ohhhh hugs @Shaz51 lumbar spine problems can do that. My sister is much worse than I am. Her back is bad and she doesn't have any feeling in her leg now.

Have you had a scan? I got an MRI then I could get a care plan for physio.

Re: One Day at a time here

Sorry for what I said @Shaz51 you and your team are probably across it all.

My old gp hadn't done anything but my osteopath said get a scan to see what's wrong. I had other trouble that gp too so now I'm with someone else

@Dimity , sending you and your sister lots of hugs 🫂 ❤️

I have had a scan and the bone density have declined over the last couple of years xx

Re: One Day at a time here

No need to be sorry my sister @Dimity 🥰

How is your eyes 👀 going xx

Can I ask when your birthday is?

Re: One Day at a time here

@Shaz51 sounds silly but I'm not sure how good my eye is. My distance vision is better since the ops but a lot of things are murky. I can read a bright screen OK.

I'm Sagittarius but that's all I'll say... probably won't celebrate this year.

Re: One Day at a time here

That's OK @Dimity

Why I am asking is because have you always had the same user name or a different username before xx

In response to: Re: One Day at a time here

Re: One Day at a time here

Just the one username @Shaz51 . I was involved with SANE a few years before that - I bought stuff and donated - but I didn't know about the forums.

Re: One Day at a time here

@Shaz51 mmm same deal everywhere eh? Too sick to function, not sick enough to get treatment. And yeah, same deal for the 'but you don't look sick!' kinda commentary. Can be soooo frustrating!

Aww you're sweet, I will pass them on! And since we're handing out hugs, here's a pile for you!!
