I would firstly to talk some thing about my hubby. My hubby was just
diagnosed with CKD Stage 3. It is all just "unfolding" so I'm in the process of
learning about a low-protein lifestyle, how the kidneys work, etc.
He's had "little hints" that something was wrong over the years, a high
creatinine level was the most consistent. A few years ago he was sent to a
kidney specialist but was told he did not have kidney disease. He just switched
his primary care physician due to relocation and this new doc told him point
blank, "you have kidney disease" and sent him off to a nephrologist who
confirmed.
He goes back to see him this month for results of the tests he had done.
What I find hard is getting the energy to rise to this occassion. I have been
non-stop with some pretty stressful events in my life since January and just
started to think it was over and I could finally breathe. Now this.
I KNOW I will rise to it, but I sure wish I didn't have to. Just ordering a
cookbook was exhausting. Yuck. That sounded so It's okay to think of yourself
and how hubby's CKD will /does effect both of you.:grouphug:
What cookbook did you just order? I just got the one from the libray everyone
on a kidney web page talks about.
So far, I'm not sure (I don't know where to make major changes in eatting
yet) about the few recipies in it. I'm still waiting for test results and don't
have a treatment plan that requires much.
I had to stop my Celebrex to stop any more kidney loss and the goal is to
keep my blood pressure under 120/80 by following a no more than 2 grams of salt
per day. So I've done that.
My disease was really treated by Immunotherapy therapy in Shijiazhuang kidney
disease hospital, whose history is more than 26 years, and which is a
professional kidney hospital, I checked here already for more than 10 days, and
I can feel obvious effects in our body. Now I am in good state.
