Does this get better?

Take a breath. Get on a proper diet to give you some energy. Rest when you need to and take it one day at a time.

So I have heard—with 3a, there are things one can do to stabilize your kidneys, to keep from getting worse….hydrating is #1, diet and exercise among them…starting mild exercise might be hard, but once begun, you will just want to keep it going…there’s a lot of info about kidney -friendly living…even things like contrast dye for CTs can injure kidneys..do the research with care, as there are a lot of scams out there ! Good luck !

I was diagnosed with stage 3A a year ago and adopted a kidney-friendly diet on my own. My eGFR was 59 and is now 71 (stage 2). I have found that this group; Renal Support Network; The National Kidney Foundation; The Renal Diet Cookbook for the Newly Diagnosed /Zogheib; among others are valuable resources. I finally got to see a nephrologist in April. I will see her next week to learn results from bloodwork she ordered. I don't sleep all that well, either, and will ask the nephrologist for advice. Best of luck to you.

I wanted to thank everyone that has responded or will respond to my posts. I appreciate the advice and good wishes.

I think there's an initial shock to your diagnosis. Everyone has left some good tips. Awareness is half the battle. I take jardiance which is to slow progression of kidney disease. You may want to see if this is an option.
