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

Re: Chronic kidney disease & mental health

Hi @Shaz51 you're definitely not forgotten here my friend. But I understand how it could be feeling like that in your offline life with all the different doctors. Hope your tests today go ok for you and show some useful results that your doctors will be onto swiftly. I think I'd be asking for one of the Dr's that's always there if I was in your situation. Also you can ask for a 'team health care plan' like my Dr does for me which gets all your different doctors to communicate with each other. Best wishes xx

PS I don't think I've seen this thread before. Feel free to tag me anywhere anytime.

Re: Chronic kidney disease & mental health

There is so much involved in all this transplant business isn't there @Shaz51 ?

Do you often have trouble giving up your blood? I know you have been trying to drink more water, but could you still have been a bit dehydrated?

Given everything thats happening Shaz, I'm surprised your GP has not reminded you (or even insisted) to update your team health care plan. My GP reminds me every year to come in and renew mine.

Besides all that .. how have you been overall, the last day or two?

Sending lotsa love.
