Chronic Kidny desaese

[gbrickhouse]

Hello everyone, this is my first posting. I have Kidney disease, stage 3B, my Dr has no answer on how and why my body has been attacking my kidneys, now for the last six months, all of my blood work has shown a stabilizing in this effect. I have basically one kidney I have now, and my biggest fear is going on Dialysis, I have seen people go in for treatment feeling fine, just to come out all weak, barely able to walk to the car, and it takes a couple of days to feel better, just in time for another round of dialysis. If I have to do this, I think Im going to take myself out of my misery and not go through that. I would rather be dead wth my Maker than go through all that. Not the quality of life I want to have.

Hi🌝 I'm looking at starting dialysis too but I put a light heart on a heavy problem so we'll see

It's definitely a wake up call, I'd say, I've lived with a 65 gfr for almost 10 years and had no idea what that meant. So in that sense, now I'm into stage 3a (at the moment), I guess I should not be surprised. Sometimes I wish I didn't find out until later because it saves on worry. 6 months ago, I may have been a little tired, but I was out hauling palm trees and living life - free from fear. Edgar Cayce/Astrology says our kidneys hold the brunt of our fears. Keep asking myself, what am I holding back in my life? I think we need to address issues that we've stuffed aside and clear the clutter from our minds, our lives and give ourselves a break - kidneys included - like fresh clean water (if possible these days), clean food (questionable unless you are a farmer), and hope. The only thing I can think of is to give back. Giving takes us outside of ourselves and our problems don't seem so large. Peace.
