Just entered the fifth stage with g f r - 15 creatine - 3

and I'm very scared one doctor suggested immuno suppressive drug named myfortic,

And the other nephrologist said it is pointless at this stage and I really don't know what to do !?

It has a lot of side effects especially at my age of 83.

I started 60 mg of prednisone as the Last thing to try, because it work well before.

Don't know what to eat anymore as most food is forbidden because of potassium which is in most Foods like veggies fruit and even vegan proteins.

Would really appreciate any advice from specialist or from your own experience

And is there a forum nephrologist where one can ask questions 🙏🙏🙏
