Thank you, I've not had any illnesses, but I have been taking SSRIs for depression for many years. My HRT patch was swapped for a pill a few years ago due to availability and then after 3 years the doctor put me back on patches, saying pills weren't ideal. I was also given Lansoprazole for acid reflux in 2021, still on it now, and I wonder if that had contributed too.
I have had a lot of fatigue, and from talking to transplant patients I know this could be related, even at this stage. Today I feel quite down, but I know I will probably feel more positive tomorrow.
Thanks for your kind reply!
The diet question is complicated. My nephrologist wants me to have more salt, and more protein! The salt due to low blood pressure which can affect eGFR. The protein for muscles because muscle loss can also affect eGFR. Everyone is different! But the main thing is hydration!
