EXHAUSTED!

I have been spent, tired, don't want to get out of the bed.

My body is so tired.  But hesitant about dialysis.

Know will feel better  with dialysis.

 

The meds are hurting my stomach even when I eat something before taking.

My left hip is bothering more than ever.

My spine hurt in the midsection of my back.  NOW WHAT IS THAT?!

INFO LEARNED:  Kidney Disease & Vitamin D Deficiency  http://www.livestrong.com/article/255681-kidney-disease-vitamin-d-deficiency/

 

Vitamin D deficiency is a common problem among those with chronic kidney disease. Vitamin D is a mineral that is found in plant and animal sources, dietary supplements, as well as synthesized from exposure of your skin to sunlight. Low levels of vitamin D can cause weak bones, muscle spasms, fractures and may even increase your risk of death if you have chronic kidney disease. Fortunately, this condition can be treated with a vitamin D supplement prescribed by your doctor.


I am now taking 1 vitamin D tablet once each week (1.25 MG / 50,000 UNIT).  Prescribed by rheumatologist.  Received prescription in the mail.
 
I have experience SEVERE LEGS & FEET CRAMPS.  Dink lots of water to relieve.  Helps sometimes.
 
Going to nephrologist this afternoon for more blood tests.
