Hi @billchitwood, I think only a doctor would know if your husbands symptoms are kidney related. In an earlier post @colleenyoung mentioned that Bill is might be having symptoms related to his health conditions and this might be something that a palliative care doctor or symptom management nurse can help you with. You responded that you wouldn't know how to find a palliative care doctor or symptom management nurse and Medicare doesn't cover it unless it's end of life. I'm wondering if you might want to look into palliative care just to see if you can get some assistance. Here are some sites that explain it a little better and may help.
