Thank you for sharing. You have been so helpful. Last night I had no cramping issues but peed like crazy (with less water in my system!) I think I will need to add salt to water today, prob take another iron supplement (I'm going to try for every other day because of constipation issues) and continue the multi vitamin. I feel a little shaky this morning. Have to be on top of things today because very active 5 yr old grandson spending the night 😁❤️. Do you have lupus as well Ginger ? Just curious because it seems a lot of lupus patients also have kidney issues. And yes! We have become label readers and that is a good thing !

I take elemental iron with C Called Vitron-C instead of ferritin stuff.
It’s much easier to take and I have not had side effects near what the ferritin stuff does.
My hematologist has me taking it 2 times a day AT LEAST.
@ginger7 , @jerrysgirl3 I have a lot to learn about!

@jerrysgirl3 Yes, I was diagnosed with lupus in 1988. It is considered a mild case, but I do deal with joint pain, severe sunlight reactivity, and the facial reddening among other symptoms. Back in 1999 my rheumatologist at that time mentioned a possible lupus connection to the high protein levels in my urine, but it was never pursued, whatever their reasoning.
My kidney disease is based on an autoimmune filtering abnormality in the glomeruli area of the kidney.
