Kidney Disease

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

I’ve been suffering with chronic pain fatigue for many years. Seen countless doctors and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, Cushings, hypothyroidism, cfs on paper. Dr never really talks about the symptoms just shakes head at my complaints. Pain meds. But yesterday I this episode where I can’t stay awake long I wake for awhile and start dozing off again. I feel drunk sleepy. It happened before thanksgiving went on for almost 2 weeks. I have a dog esa. Then I went to sleep early and couldn’t get up until 4pm. Is this normal with fibromyalgia? It’s scary

So I was on a pretty heafty dose of prednisone last year during the summer die to my Lupus. I had very limited mobility and it was overall a pretty terrible experience.
Anyway- I ended up gaining a lot of weight very quickly, and it’s become very difficult to loose.

I used to be 190LBS, I’m 5’6, with broad shoulders. So I looked pretty healthy, and I was very confident and proud of myself!

But because of my Lupus and medications like prednisone, I’m now 235LBS and I just feel awful. It seems like the prednisone has made it so much harder to loose weight., even thought I have stoped taking it months ago!
I’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety, as well as overall crippling fatigue- people, including doctors- keep telling me “just get moving! Go on walks! Eat healthy! Don’t eat processed foods!” But they seem to forget I struggle with chronic pain, horrible fatigue, exercise and heat intolerance and an overall lack of good days.

So how on earth am I supposed to loose weight? So I can feel better about myself again? I’m loosing hope with it, and I just feel so lost and lonely and exhausted. I’m not flailing anymore,so why do I feel so bad?

Chronic illness is becoming too much for me.
