Hi @Shaz51 

What with the fire and Mr Shaz and your Mum you have a lot on  your plate without kidney disorder - so it's not surprising that your mental health needs checking too. It is perfectly natural that stress would add a great deal of pressure to your life and make the kidney work harder

It's amazing with all of your health problems that they don't consider your situation bad enough to put you on the waiting list for a kidney. I guess you have to be on dialysis before that can happen - has this been suggested yet or are you still waiting.

You have to consider you Mum and Mr Shaz but you need to take care of yourself too. I hope you can find time to rest more - and I know this isn't easy. I just wish it was

This is your second Mum feeling protective

Sending my love

Hello  @Former-Member , @Owlunar , @Faith-and-Hope , @eth , @Eve7 , @Emelia8 , @Former-Member 

Well it ended up the blood tests were uncompleted

Which made the kidney specialist upset 

Now have to go and do the blood tests again 

The other tests came back alright and the doctor said  I am fine 

Ohhh great I thought !!!!

[Owlunar]

Aw great @Shaz51 

You are fine? Really? With all the disorders creeping in and taking up residence in your life and the doctor said "Your fine" 

I would find that a put-down. Fine compared with what? 

I'm sorry - your life is some kind of battle-ground but it has to get worse before you get on the list for a kidney transplant

This is your second-mum getting protective again

hello my wonderful caring second mum @Owlunar 

yes I was taken back a bit after that comment 

so I am going to request my old doctor i had before 

what happens we get new doctors all the time and the other longtime doctors are all booked up 

i need to talk to the doctor about mum which her Giant Cell arterities is playing up and showing signs of dementia

mr shaz is going to ring the specialist tomorrow --- fingers crossed

Hello @Shaz51 sorry to hear you haven't got the blood results that you wanted. I hope you have managed to have had a second lot. Take care

[Shaz51]

Looks like ESRD ------ End Stage Renal Disease  for me 

[BlueBay]

oh no @Shaz51  this doesn't sound good at all

what does this mean??

you are in my thoughts sis xxxooo 

[Shaz51]

thank you @Former-Member  and @BlueBay 

@BlueBay, my sister , it means that my one and only kidney is declining and finding it harder to do its job 

which means i will have to go on a Kidney dialysis and on a kidney transplant list to wait for a new kidney 

so will need for a  stricter diet , more blood tests and specialists appt 

have not got all the symptons yet @BlueBay , but going to try to slow it down
