@kamama94 when I read about your sudden/big drop in GFR & subsequent gearing up for dialysis I wished for something other than a heart ❤️ or bookmark to respond. I have CKD and have bounced around with GFR 14 - 42 over the past 4 years. I also had shingles during that time. I don’t remember if it had any bearing on the CKD. This year I have mainly tried to avoid Covid as best I can while taking care of myself in every other way. But I haven’t had an in person Dr. visit since February. I go for labs, a Prolia injection and Nephrology visit next week. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I also wish Birthday Blessings for you. Be kind to yourself and take care. Keep us posted on how this journey is going.
