Chronic kidney disease & mental health

Chronic kidney disease & mental health

hello everyone

i have found some information on the sane forum for Kidney disease and mental health

i thought i was feeling ok with being diagnosed with kidney dease stage 4 with only one kidney

which means my only one kidney is working at 21%

now my specialist is wanting me to register to go on the kidney transplant

I am feeling so tired and sometimes it is hard to keep on keeping on

i am feeling soo many emotions at the moment

i have forms to get started to go on the list for a transplant

i also have diabetes which makes it hard and sometimes feeling overwhelmed

my mr shaz wants to be a living donor , he will have to go through the same tests as me

Hello @NatureLover

Yes on Tuesday at the kidney specialist , they took me in to do a Fistula mapping in my arm ready for the dialysis machine

The specialist is hoping we can postpone it As long as we can

It made us start thinking about what to do

My Mr shaz is worried

Aw @Shaz51

That's tough

I am been concerned that with all you have been going through that and you have needed dialysis - as rough as it has to be - because I am sure you will feel better some of the time

But I hear you - it's scary and so Mr Shaz is feeling worried - anyone would be I am sure

Ill health and disability is a battle - I have no doubt you are strong enough and it will be a challenge.

I'm sorry about that

I Ammm feeling veryyy awwww today as I have had a Fistula mapping in my arm ready for the future dialysis

Got a phone call today about having surgery to put the Fistula in this month but have postponed it until my next specialist appointment in May

But now thinking of ringing them back tomorrow to start the procedure this month
