Hi Everybody,
A little background. I’m 34 and living with a long term kidney disease. My kidney function is around 18% the last few years.
I attend kidney specialist regularly but am growing frustrated.
In the last six months in my opinion my health has decreased considerably such as not having any energy and not appetite which has caused me to take a period of time off work. My doctors response is this is part of the course and there is nothing we can do.
I would love to know if anyone in the same and is there anything they do or take to improve energy levels and live relatively normal life.
Also I have three family members who would live to give me a kidney and all are in good health. When I asked my doctor could this be looked at, he said no that I have to be under 15% for me to tested, then it will take 18 months to get donors tested to see if there compatible. Is this normal?
