Hi I am 80yrs with a few issues ,the worst is my Emphasema I am on Oxygen ,the next is my Kidneys a lot of that is caused by my very high blood pressure it was 212/137 2 hrs ago I also have Spinal Stenosis and suprisingly....... Depression.LOL, I have just found out I have Diabetes as well , damn ankles go up and dowm like aYo Yo.

I have worries about my kidneys as I dont pass all that much urine when I go .....I know I am 80 but it dosent stop me from having panic attacks ...Serapax really helps ......the really scary ones are the Flare ups as they can damage your lungs.I really dread Dialysis.

Sorry it sounds like Me Me Me but its good just to get it out with people who understand what we are 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷going through.

Im right there with you. I am 83 close to starting dialysis and it feels like its just one thing after another. I had a IBS flare up recently and now have a respiratory infection that is kicking my butt. Some days I wonder if its worth struggling on as I dont seem to have much of a life
