I have never had acupuncture.

For some people, acupuncture can play an important part of stability. I was lucky because my acupuncturist also has a Ph.D in Immunology from Vanderbilt University. Her thesis was kidney disease. One of the most difficult parts of this journey is trying to determine which doctor do you trust the most. The endocrinologist who prescribed Farxiga or the kidney NP who prescribed Torsemide ended with cautionary kidney results. Do you take 5000 years of Eastern medical history of kidney disease and compare that with our Western medical knowledge? I chose to remain stable with the acupuncturist. Eastern and Western medicine has its differences but if you "Google" acupuncture and kidney disease, you will have found that "some" have benefited. All docs tell me that CKD cannot be reversed, so if true, all I want from this disease is stability
