Yes, I’ve considered that. Doesn’t hurt my feelings at all:). But apparently my creatinine should be lower for age, given the diagnosis, I guess. I’m going to try acupuncture and see if that helps.

I began acupuncture a couple of months ago for stage 3. This is a long term process, but I can truthfully say at this point, I am stable. It will get interesting when I do herb therapy. Most nephrologists and dietitians will tell you be to be cautious with herbal treatments as there is typically phosphorous and other ingredients that may reverse permanently any gains you make. I have a Chinese medical doc for acupuncture with a Ph.D. from a prestigious U.S. college and I trust her. At this point, I rely on my renal dietitian and PCP for best advice and recurring lab work as nephrologists are tough to see regularly at Mayo.
