Chronic kidney disease & mental health

Hi @Shaz51

What with the fire and Mr Shaz and your Mum you have a lot on your plate without kidney disorder - so it's not surprising that your mental health needs checking too. It is perfectly natural that stress would add a great deal of pressure to your life and make the kidney work harder

It's amazing with all of your health problems that they don't consider your situation bad enough to put you on the waiting list for a kidney. I guess you have to be on dialysis before that can happen - has this been suggested yet or are you still waiting.

You have to consider you Mum and Mr Shaz but you need to take care of yourself too. I hope you can find time to rest more - and I know this isn't easy. I just wish it was

This is your second Mum feeling protective

Sending my love

Aw - I'm so tired

I understand - Little Kidney

Totally agree @Shaz51

Hello @Former-Member , @Owlunar , @Faith-and-Hope , @eth , @Eve7 , @Emelia8 , @Former-Member

Well it ended up the blood tests were uncompleted

Which made the kidney specialist upset

Now have to go and do the blood tests again

The other tests came back alright and the doctor said I am fine

Ohhh great I thought !!!!

Aw great @Shaz51

You are fine? Really? With all the disorders creeping in and taking up residence in your life and the doctor said "Your fine"

I would find that a put-down. Fine compared with what?

I'm sorry - your life is some kind of battle-ground but it has to get worse before you get on the list for a kidney transplant

This is your second-mum getting protective again

hello my wonderful caring second mum @Owlunar

yes I was taken back a bit after that comment

so I am going to request my old doctor i had before

what happens we get new doctors all the time and the other longtime doctors are all booked up

i need to talk to the doctor about mum which her Giant Cell arterities is playing up and showing signs of dementia

mr shaz is going to ring the specialist tomorrow --- fingers crossed

Hello @Shaz51 sorry to hear you haven't got the blood results that you wanted. I hope you have managed to have had a second lot. Take care

Looks like ESRD ------ End Stage Renal Disease for me

oh no @Shaz51 this doesn't sound good at all

what does this mean??

you are in my thoughts sis xxxooo

thank you @Former-Member and @BlueBay

@BlueBay, my sister , it means that my one and only kidney is declining and finding it harder to do its job

which means i will have to go on a Kidney dialysis and on a kidney transplant list to wait for a new kidney

so will need for a stricter diet , more blood tests and specialists appt

have not got all the symptons yet @BlueBay , but going to try to slow it down

oh i am so sorry @Shaz51 you have so much on your plate

i am thinking of you xxxooo
