@raehost welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Wow you have a lot going on in your list of diagnoses. Is it overwhelming? I have a suggestion that might be helpful. Since you were recently hospitalized do you have any discharge or follow up instructions? (name &/ or number of who to contact if you have further problems, concerns or questions) You could contact that provider for an appointment. Ask for help in prioritizing your various conditions and also for referrals to applicable specialists. If it turns out that your CKD is the place to start find a nephrologist & dietician who knows renal nutrition. My suggestion could help you break down your situation into smaller more manageable steps towards learning and caring for yourself.

@cehunt57 in reply to you. You ask if my situation is overwhelming. Well, I can tell you this much. I don't think that's the word for it. But thanks everyone for your advice. We are currently trying to get more answers from more doctors. So I have to wait and see. We are trying to do a lot of research on our own behalf since I have So much going on. It is very hard because most people do not understand my situation so therefore Everybody loves to push me to the back burner.
