Hi @frauline, I'd like to add my welcome. I moved your questions to this existing discussion:
- Want to hear from others who have Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/stage-4-ckd/

I did this so that you can connect with others like @gingerw @anet @veteran @kamama94 @billagreste @sissieann @blessedmamie4 @cehunt57 @pdq1 @smeegle and more.

I also like to know what led to your diagnosis. At stage 4, it’s a good idea to seek the care of a nephrologist (a doctor who specializes in treating kidney disease).

Too ill to help atm - diabetic gastroparesis & narrowing esophagus, in hosp a week, back home unable to cook or even eat if I could cook, am w/o any help bc hosp staff, social workers, & docs & depts can't fire more than 1 brain cell at a time.

Renal function fairly good but suffering from malnutrition.

Nursing home in near future, sadly. Am losing everything incl beloved Service Dog Buckey.

Also, computer crashed and this is a temp one, no longer remember password & too debilitated to set up new one for now.

But sending hugs and blessings to all.
