Trying to get a handle on this thing and choose best course (if there is any) as to how to proceed. Tests show stage 3 kidney failure, severe low extraction levels, which of course decreases energy, increases shortness of breath, and lethargy to push through it.
Primary would like to know how others are dealing with no appetite, taste, food aversion.
Much appreciate the answer to "that which does not seem to have an answer" only more wrinkles. I am going to be buying some ensure or similar just to give my body something to run on. Best wishes and hope for both of us. ALL OF US.
Sarah does not belong there😳
Not sure what you individual believe Sarah about marijuana, but it absolutely creates the
"Munchies" for those of you who have difficulty with appetite!
Gummies work!
My taste came back very slowly. It’s been 4 years now. There are still some things that don’t taste good but I’m much better than I was. I find brushing my teeth and tongue before and after I eat helps with taste and nausea. Zofran is my best friend. I always just forced myself to eat. You just do what you have to do. It’s hard to have an appetite when everything tastes like crap.
Hi David and Richard, Do you have to take a diuretic? I had to increase my diuretic the last year or two and my skin is now all wrinkled and hanging. Have you asked your doctor if you can take a smaller dose or maybe every other day? I know nothing about all this and maybe it is not fixable, but I would try. All your symptoms seem to be from lack of water. Worth inquiring. Good luck!
