Hello @ryman,

Please ask away, because that is precisely what the Connect community is here for. I see that @predictable has shared some great information, and I would also encourage you to read this recent discussion on Connect: "Diminished kidney function" http://mayocl.in/2l9m1P9
Feel free to ask questions and tag other members.
Here is some information from Mayo Clinic too, about questions you may have for your doctors: http://mayocl.in/2l9zTcm

In the meantime, I'd like to introduce you to @macarl, @jmbjar, @rosemarya, @2011panc, @rozalia, @lindaw, @wolfer1975, @suelfin, @mouser, @kimhill1972, @gulzar, and I hope they will be able to tell you more about their experiences and help you find some answers.

@ryman, what symptoms are you experiencing? How are you managing your other health issues?

Thank you for the info. I will check those out shortly. The symptoms I have now are much like what I had with Lyme disease. Dizziness, weakness, headaches, nausea, fatigue and blurred vision. But I just have an overall ill feeling and no appetite at all. I think my doctor is also looking at liver function. My potassium has dropped to the normal range but the filter rate is still low. My carbon dioxide and creatinine are still within range but have gone up. I take synthroid, amlodipine and nexium for thyroid, bp and GERD. I take aredia by iv once a month for osteoporosis. Thank you so much for your help. The possibility of kidney disease came as a complete surprise to me and concerns me more than my other issues.
