ckd stage 3

[Mary-Louise]

I was diagnosed with Iga nephropathy 25 years ago through having a biopsy, first sign was my eyes woke up to a cloud of smoke iritis which they couldn’t stop the build up of pressure and turned into glaucoma secondary, over the years I’ve had flare ups as I call them. Feeling unwell, always cold feet and hands pain gout in joints 300mg of allopurinol daily, underactive thyroid 50mg thyroxine, blood pressure tablets 150mg , reflux tablets as always felt I had heartburn, newest tablet is bisoprolol a beta blocker as heart was restless and resting heart was 132 before with weakness down left side. I feel like anything I have it’s linked to inflammation but can’t take any inflammatory tablets due to my kidneys apart from been put on steroids every so often which are a miracle tablet tbh. Taking this all in I feel well. I try and do a short exercise routine daily, eat fairly healthy and i only drink alcohol on very few occasions and a drink could last me hours if out for a occasion,since covid I slowed down & I’ve started to feel better strangely ( some friends think I’m always too busy as I have 5 grandchildren & work full time ) this is what I’ve found strange the last few years I’ve not had blood and proteins in my urine! I spoke to my renal consultant and he said my kidneys have seemed to have levelled in the last few years but I still have ckd stage 3 42 % kidney function, he said maybe I had a infection 25 year infection which attacked my kidneys. Does this sound strange ? any advice would be helpful sometimes I think they have my diagnosis wrong what’s others thoughts or advice but they did do a biopsy though. take care everyone and thank you 😊
