I wrote here 5 days ago about how a 2009 Seroquel overdose from a bad pdoc keeps advancing its damage on my kidneys like the kidney docs said it would. Like I said 5 days ago I know that I'm lucky for the 2009-2023 delay I've been able to pull off on its disabling me, and that I made it to retirement age in 2021 by fighting it every day with Daily Strength's help for 12 years.
But it's got me again today 5 days later like it had me September 6th. I mean Chronic Kidney Disease has GOT me today. :-(
I now know to be grateful for the 4 days in between when my CKD symptoms subsided. For those who don't know what they are, here's the description from WebMD:
"When your kidneys are damaged, waste products and fluid can build up in your body. That can cause swelling in your ankles, nausea, weakness, poor sleep, and shortness of breath. In diabetic CKD patients, small fibre neuropathy may result in burning and sharp pain."
It's scary, though, how it can vary one day to the next and come back on me so painfully. And because they're all processed via the kidneys, I can't take any pain meds, not even simple aspirin. Only Tylenol, which is liver-processed. Other than that I have to grit my teeth and bear it.
Support welcome for the Daily Strength for me to bear it today, as well as wishes for a better tomorrow with this.
Blessings, all.

Jay's podcasts are really good. I watch them on YouTube for free. Today, I watched his video about motivation. In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject. Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence: I am stuck because? I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired. When I have energy, I do...

Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it. Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
I’m sorry you’re hurting. I really hope for some better days for you. I’ve been having a pretty jacked up week with my pain stuff & ptsd too & I’m really hoping for some better days for the both of us
I will keep lighting candles for sure
Gentle hug <3
managing this condition for 14 years is an accomplishment to be proud of.
may the trend continue.
