@nightwhisper Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You've come to the right place for support and information. Getting an unexpected diagnosis can be very upsetting.

First off, everyone is different. What works for one may not be ideal for someone else. Start off with having the information about your condition at hand. What is the doctor telling you. What is the eGFR [kidney function]? What is the base cause of the kidney disease? Diabetes and uncontrolled high blood pressure are the two main causes of kidney disease. There can also be factors like medication side effects, acute kidney injury from infection or physical injury, genetic factors.

Diet, moderate exercise, reduced stress, medication [if needed] compliance, and education will all go a long way to help you. The National Kidney Fund has a lot of great information: https://www.kidney.org/ to answer questions. Also, rsnhope.org is a organization with support groups and information. And don't forget Mayo Clinic take on it all: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chronic-kidney-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20354521

Please don't Dr. Google and go down that rabbit hole of misinformation from questionable sources! It will get you more upset. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with?
