Ginger, thanks for the link. I’ve been dealing with CKD for a couple of years, it’s been frustrating…I am checking tomorrow for a specialist, in my area even though my insurance doesn’t require a referral most specialist do, but, I’ll check.

@quiltergirl2 Good for you! Be proactive, and get another primary care if they don't want to address your concerns. And while getting into a new nephrologist may take some time, get yourself on a cancellation list at that office if you can. If you have access to a pharmacist you trust, try speaking to them and get their take on your current medications and how they might be affecting your kidney function. Sometimes one won't be a concern, but a combination just might be!

Please let me know how you fare getting into a new PCP and nephrologist, will you? Oh, and as a fellow quilter, I love your screen name!
