Hello Webbl

Thanks for your post, it does sound as if you had a difficult weekend. It must be quite distressing to be thinking about all the doctor said.

This is a supportive community, so our members may have a lot of support and information for you.

Did the doctor diagnose the kidney disease and diabetes or do you have to wait for test results, perhaps you could tell us a bit more about the situation?

You may find more information about the kidneys at kidney.org.

You can find more information about diabetes at diabetes.uk

Do keep in touch and let us know how things are for you

Take care and best wishes

I’ve had the kidney disease for 10 years now and a couple of times a year I end up in hospital for about 6 weeks at a time and my creatinine levels go down to 7 I feel so ill. Been suffering with depression since I was 15 I’m now 49. Just don’t think I could cope with another illness.

Hi Webbl

Thanks for your response. It must all feel so overwhelming for you. You have coped with such a lot for a long time.

Perhaps you need to discuss things again with your doctor, as it such a lot for you to hear all at once. The diabetes can be controlled with medications and extra medical support and advice. diabetes.uk may have more information.

Perhaps if you feel you can share these things on the main forum, our members will want to offer you more support and information.

If you can feel able to be as kind as you can to yourself, there is more treatment, help and support for your mental and physical health. It must just feel so difficult right now.

Thanks so much for keeping in touch, that is so good, please let us all know more about you.

Take care
