Complete loss of energy - said he almost feels like he is going to pass out on the way back from the bathroom to his recliner. He wants to sign up for Balance of Nature. Doctor keeps telling him buying such things off the TV ads and/or Internet are not good for him. Of course he doesn't remember being told that - or being reminded every time he sees the ad on TV (which is a lot). He has been on B12 pills for about 12 years (no noticeable improvement at any point. He gave up golf in 2009 as he couldn't make it around the golf course with even being allowed to take his cart onto the green. So has been long standing. My feeling it is just his Thyroid (in the beginning) and then the CKD jumping in as well. At 88 with his health conditions I can't believe that there is going to be a magic pill or supplement that will suddenly give him energy. He can't even sit at a table to eat dinner. He goes from bed to recliner - and bathroom trips of course. And even then he has a hard time making it.

But I could be wrong - maybe there is a magic pill out there and Balance of Nature is all that it alleges to be. Of course if he bought everything he sees and wants there wouldn't be room for us in the house lol.

Julie, I felt that way-like I would pass out and no energy. My kidney failure was sudden and my husband took me to the emergency room. We were unprepared for this, never even expected it.
Just in case -do you have a plan if he gets worse or passes out or falls?
