Anyone with CKD can give me answers or advise?

I had eGFR in the 50's for years and never worried about it. Not dismissing your concerns in light of your symptoms, but trying to reassure. "Trace" is pretty meaningless, I have learned. Glucose of 108 is fine.
I woke up one day in 2001 with tingling numbness. I have never gotten an answer. I will say that oral contrast for a CT two weeks ago made it worse. I also regret that but I believe our kidney recover.
With your GFR's you are nowhere near late stage kidney disease so the symptoms don't seem to be from kidney disease, but maybe from the infection or the antibiotics or, yeah, the CT contrast.

Thank you so much for your response. I do appreciate you are trying to ease my worries. After my CT/contrast at the ER on June 3, my eGFR went from 58 to 46 in 24 hours. My contrast was intravenous. I almost backed out in the room lying on the bed ready to go in the machine. I was caught between a rock and a hard place. I wanted to go back to my patient room, but they were telling me it should be fine. The sick part is, I knew about contrast. I wish I would have listened to my gut. I wonder IF this is from the contrast, does it go away? I have an appt. on Sept.5 with my Doctor for this bizarre skin sensations. Last night, I was ready to go to bed for the night, feeling somewhat peaceful, ready to watch my movie, and both my breasts were tingling so strangely, it happened a couple times. This is new territory for me because this never happened before. I wish they would have given you an answer for your tingling, It sounds like it is still happening with you. I am sorry you are dealing with it. I feel a bit better your opinion is this is not related to my kidneys. It was very kind of you to respond, thank you.
