Hello all. I would like to asked, if maybe someone knows, is Fibro and CKD3 classified as chronic illnesses? Thanks from Beebear 😊

Hi Beebear

According to the NHS Choices cache CKD is a chronic illness, please see the excerpt below:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys don't work as well as they should.

Sadly, I cannot actually find any Fibro related literature that says that Fibro is a chronic illness not?

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of lcuk and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi Ken,

I hope that you are not suffering too much these days, and that you and Julie are managing to cope around your various illnesses.

I just thought I should point out that Fibro is a Chronic Illness, and is mentioned as such in quite a few reputable Health Sites.

The general rule in differentiating between Acute Illness or pain and Chronic Illness or pain, is - Acute Illness or pain comes on suddenly, and the symptoms can be treated quickly, and recovery is short. Chronic Illness or pain is anything that you continue to suffer from despite treatment, for longer than 6 months.

Wishing you well.

GP. 😊😊

Hi Greenpeace, thank you so much for that it is genuinely appreciated. I had a look on several websites and they did not give a determination on this and it is something that I have never thought about before as I just have the pain and fatigue! They are simply there? So thanks again my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
