I am male 75 CKD level 3 when diagnosed little over a year ago. . So far stabilized with diet and exercise. I too have similar symptoms as you and being tested for possible thyroid issues. Am glad for the health I do have. Goal is to avoid dialysis as long as can. My cause of CKD is organic, and have no hypertension.
