GFR down from 58 to 43.8 over 3 years

Hi,
I've been refused several referrals to nephrology as it is not time yet! A referal to eurology came back "we are to busy to see you"!
There is nothing for an endocrinologist to look at and I've been waiting for neurology to do a MRI scan since November last year when they thought I had Meniere's. Which I don't as the hearing has not been affected as it is with Meniere's.
I think I have become ----ology intolerant!
As my good friend tells me the only Dept I haven't been refered to is maturnity!
Unless there is a miraculus cure there is no hope. The state of my kidneys really doesn't factor into the bigger picture with Dysautonomia. If I can't wrestle control back there is little hope of ever being comfortable again.
It has come down to how long I will put up with this discomfort before I call time.
I only wish a few people around me had to go through a week of my life, their view of my life would change dramatically. They may truely understand my predicament.
Cheers

@cheyne Is your PCP refusing to do the referral to nephrology? Go to head of the practice and tell them! Complain! Does your insurance allow you to self-refer? If you don't know, ask them. Worst they will say is, "no".
