I’m wondering if anyone who reads my blog takes Lyrica for Fibromyalgia? I was once diagnosed with Fibro, although I have always questioned it (mostly because some symptoms like chronic fatigue/pain are similar to the general effects of CKD/ESRD).

Kidney Patient Bloggers Wanted

:Wow, that’s all I can say. When you say end stage renal does this mean you will need a transplant? Is this fatal? You don’t sound like you are worried about dying…? (I hope that doesn’t sound flip, it is not intended to be at all) I wish you all the best.

Kidney Weirdness

… Ok, so the kidney weirdness continues.

My creatine went from 4.0 to 7.0 in just under 5 months. This put everyone into a panic/rush to get me ready for dialysis before the end of this year and before my creatine reached 8.0.
