Hi George! Thank you so much for replying. What is so interesting is that I don’t have high blood pressure, I’m not a diabetic, I don’t have high cholesterol, I don’t have anything other than passing one kidney stone in my life to have this problem. I do have an underactive thyroid. I’ve always been a healthy eater because i jogged seven days a week was in races and did all the right things. Four months ago my kidney Function was down to 41. Now I have it up to 51 and still struggling. My PCP said sometimes when you get a certain age things like this happen! This is where I am since yesterday after a visit to him. I’m down to 110 pounds because I’m not sure of what I’m supposed to eat so I’m eating very little I’m losing my muscle mass and that is driving me crazy.
