Emotional side? It's like a horror movie. I feel like I'm being punished for my existence. Am not and have never been one to drink alcohol which I associate with CKD. So not the case. Just existing is the punishment of CKD, heart issues, blood sugar and many more health problems. I am a water drinker, no sodas, no alcohol, no sugary drinks or food. Get diabetes, CKD, heart issues and more. My punishment for still being above ground.

I was on Li for 20 yrs b/f my psychiatrist said that we needed to get me off of it due to my eGFR and creatinine level. That really caught me off guard. I was unhappy that I was not informed earlier. Now I want to do everything I can to avoid dialysis. I try to grateful for each day that I am granted without wallowing in past, nor projecting too far into the fure. @happyquilter
