Chronic kidney disease & mental health

@Shaz51😨❤🙏

Oh @Shaz51 you must be feeling exhausted. My sons mother in law had a kidney transplant 11 years ago. Fortunately her husband was the doner!
Are you not able to get DIsability pension that way you don't have the pressure of work. I do hope everything goes well with your specialist appointment. 🤗💞

Oh @Shaz51 that's rough 😔

So sorry Shaz, will keep you in my thoughts hun. Please let us know what specialist says 🙏🌹💕

Dearest @Shaz51 ,

i am very sorry to hear this news. Kidney disease is terrible. I was a nurse and watched many patients on haemodialysis and through transplant. I saw the effects on the person and the family.

I hope you get proper support from the health professionals.

you manage so much for others and are a wonderful support here. I have very much appreciated your consistent and ongoing care.

you will be in my thoughts, and prayers dear Shaz

So sorry to hear this my sister @Shaz51 I hope the Drs and health care workers can assist you. Have you seen a dietitian? I have chronic renal disease too (Glomerulonephritis). Be careful with pain killers and look after yourself (lots of self care). You're in thoughts and prayers!!

@Shaz51

Lots of love @Shaz51.

I don't know what to say @Shaz51. So sorry to hear more of life's trials and tribulations have gone your way. I hope the specialist is able to be of help and great support. Sending love and best wishes for your better health.

Hi @Shaz51 - hearing you, sorry the kidney function is so bad. I thought you were already with a urologist. Hope you get in soon and get the best help with this. At what point to they start dialysis? 😟 this is very hard but you might start to feel better. I'm surprised your sugar isnt more under control with how active you are... all the work you do. Wonder if stress affects sugars, you've sure had a lot of that. I found out yesterday were suppose to eat SEVEN CUPS of salad a day 😲 for proper balance of electrolytes etc. Gosh, by the time we've consumed all that there'd be no room for carbs etc lol.

I'm so thankful I don't have diabetes, but "pre diabetic" apparently, so consider myself a diet controlled diabetic - have to see sugars and refined carbs as toxic for me (hard habit to break). All my dad's side dx type2 diabetes by their mid 40s.

Gotta keep the BSL down, and burn it off as it is too hard on the kidney's fine filtering system. Some say we can reverse diabetes but it's tricky when ya on insulin etc. Wish I knew more to help, but hearing you... It's hard 😢 Chin up. Hugzz
🙏💙🙏
