Seems like these are more things to add. My energy level can't handle more! I am fixing my meals, counting grams, entering numbers in my Cronometer, and walking when the weather permits, going to the senior center to exercise twice a week. Also the doctor and other specialist is more than I want to tackle.

The practices listed are general suggestions to help those who may be having a hard time managing stress levels while dealing with kidney disease. We would never want any of our constituents to feel overwhelmed by adding more. We encourage you to continue your practices with your current healthcare specialists. Thank you for sharing!

These are only helpful to CKD patients who are otherwise healthy. Due to severe allergies (respiratory) I do not spend time outdoors, and due to amputations, I do not do walking or other exercises. Need articles for disabled CKD patients!
