@jaki I totally understand being a basket case. I am too since April 9. Everything is good except my gfr and my creatine is elevated. I have been drinking 64 oz water, no more cokes. I have had a funerals and felt like I was killing myself. You know. I’ve been eating broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, salad, chicken, some salmon and tuna in can rinsed off twice! Fruits are strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, raspberries, apples and pineapple. I’m missing bananas for sure. Did you go to a speciality list or nutritionist? I’m wondering if I should. Thank you so much for responding! I feel like I’m totally alone here, but I know I’m not, I just have never known anyone with ckd. Thank you!
