Kidney Disease

Hi everyone! I am new to this group. I live with Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, anemia and chronic kidney disease. I also have anxiety as a result of living with these conditions. Consequently I am exhausted most of the time and struggle to accomplish things in my life. Nice to meet everyone and hear everyone’s stories here.

When my husband was diagnosed kidney disease my life turned upside down. It's also when my health started to really go south. I became a widow 1 1/2 years later. My son and I had to live off the check I received as his death benefits from his dad and food stamps cause I kept getting denied disability. Celebrating holidays just weren't the same nor could be afforded. Then when I got with my torturous abusive ex his Christmas present to me was the first time his hit me. I hate holidays. Even worse my daughter quit having anything to do with me due to my flashbacks. Which also removed my grandsons from my life. She use to invite me over for every holiday, even offering to pick me up. My youngest son moved 45 minutes away but we talk on the phone at least once a week. When I was a kid growing up, families put their differences aside and all got together every holiday. That's what holidays mean to me. Instead I spend them alone. So instead of holiday season; it's depression season for me.

Hi, my name is SomeLady. I'm here because I have a few chronic illnesses and I'm looking for encouragement and support.

Did you know that around 10% of the global population is affected by chronic kidney disease? These critical organs, each about the size of a fist, play an essential role in filtering out waste and balancing fluids in the body. Yet, despite their importance, kidney health often gets overlooked until problems become severe. This article delves into the common kidney problems people face, their symptoms, and, most importantly, practical ways to prevent them.

Let’s explore kidney health in-depth and understand how to keep these organs functioning optimally.

I had to put my beautiful boy Wicket (cat) to sleep today. He had kidney disease and just let's us know that it was time. I spent the day at the vets yesterday because one of my other cats River was sick. I thought yesterday was her time, but trying to treat her with a variety of things. Wicket was 11.

Hey guys!
I have concerns i want to share with someone who could have been trough the same thing.
I had a biopsy done on my left kidney last Tuesday (July 30th) and i still have pain going from my back to my side to my belly. I didn't know what to expect going into it, but i didn't think it would last this long. I would like to know if any of you went through a biopsy and how long did it take for the pain to go away and get back to a normal routine.
Thank you ! #Fibromyalgia #KidneyDisease
