One Day at a time here

  • 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

Re: One Day at a time here

I was thinking of you today and wondering if there was any more news @Shaz51

How are you feeling after the results?

Re: One Day at a time here

Hi @Ru-bee

I am feeling relieved that my kidney function has increased to 19 % from 17 % and is stable again

Then I ask what I can do to help " and the doctor replied Nothing can be done "

That must be hard hearing that it's out of your control @Shaz51 that's never a comfortable thing to sit with

Re: One Day at a time here

It is hard @Ru-bee

What's worse is all the advice I get from family members who don't really understand

Re: One Day at a time here

Sounds like mixed news @Shaz51 . But kidney function stable is OK.

Better balance, and preventing falls... keeping yourself safe... I hope they're helping you with that.

Re: One Day at a time here

Aww @Shaz51 that's so hard!!

And doubly so when you get invalidated to boot. What do you say in return, do you try to explain or do you just try to ignore them?

Re: One Day at a time here

Yes @Dimity 😊 I am grateful that the kidney is stable again

Seeing a Osteoporosis specialist next year

Also a genetic specialist next year to add too all the specialists
