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

Thank you @Captain24

For Mr shaz , not good , the first appointment he got very disheartened

Today's appointment we cancelled due to it would cost $$$ and it was to talk to someone in NSW

Then he was in hospital with kidney stones and today is in bed

Re: Chronic kidney disease & mental health

I’m so sorry to hear that @Shaz51. My CM, Pdoc and dietitian are all through the MH team and doesn’t cost anything. I have to pay for my psych as my team is too small and doesn’t have one.

Do you have to go back to the MH team? Are they going to support you both?

Sorry about Mr Shaz kidney stones. I hear they are extremely painful. I hope he will be ok.
