I’ve taken myself Off of all meds except my natural vitamins. It’s so hard because I had a C-2 through T-1 cervical fusion 4 years ago and I am always in pain. Right now I’m not even taking Tylenol for it so I can try and get my numbers up.😂

Hi @ms9246
I hope you are able to find the information on CKD diets and it is helpful. I applaud your being able to stop all of your meds to get your eGFR up. I haven’t stopped any of my meds except NSAIDS, Prednisone and OTC meds/supplements not recommended by my doctors. I do use Pulmicort steroid inhaler for Asthma and Nasilide (flunisolide) nasal spray for Sinusitis. I sometimes take Budesonide 3mg for Microscopic (Lymphocytic) Colitis, but have stopped taking Prednisone for Gout now that Uloric has stopped it and brought Uric Acid down to 2.4.
I have decided that I will not do Dialysis/Transplant if I reach Stage 5 for many reasons. They include age, very complex medical history with sensitivity and allergies to a very long list of meds which would make any benefit unlikely. I am allergic to almost every antibiotic and have had Abscesses, Cellulitus and Serous Peritonitis from strong steroids. I will see a Nephrologist at University of Michigan in August and will request to be in their conservative care program. If I was younger or still raising children I might think differently. I will follow any diet recommendations they suggest and will see what meds they want me to stop or change.
