My name is Geraldine. I’ve been diagnosed with stage 4 CKD and I am interested in improving my health and looking for support from people with the same conditions. I would like to give my support to others as well. 😊

HI Goodgirl.

Welcome to our happy family. We are here to support each other. Do you have any specific questions we can help you with?

Do you understand CKD. There are lots of classes and information out there. I high recommend you look through the NKF information and Davita classes kidney.org/

and davita.com/education?&utm_s...

Do you understand your labs and medications you are currently on?

Have you seen a renal dietician?

I too am stage4 and have been now for 3 years. I maintain my numbers with diet and a healty lifestyle. There is lots to do to help yourself and we love to share.

Hi Goodgirl and welcome to healthunlock, your definitely in the right place. I am at stage 4 too. And I went to some classes to learn and understand ckd it also helped me to know that I'm not alone. Check out the North West Kidney Foundation for information about ckd. Hang in there, and know that you're not alone we are with you every step of the way.😀
