CKD was actually spotted during my angiogram on a October 3. The cardiologist wrote that he did not do the left part of the heart because my kidneys weren’t working, which was the first I’d heard that. Actual report reads: “Left Ventriculogram deferred due to renal insufficiency”. GFR was 34 at that time. It’s now down to…

I am absolutely blown away by how willing everyone is to help! Let me answer a couple of really good questions I’ve read. I reiterate - aside from being shocked at how much lower my average calorie intake is than recommended, and realizing that there may well be things I’m not adding because they’re “invisible calories”,…

^^^^ This is what I needed much more than caloric stuff, although I admit I got worried when I saw that my caloric intake over the years has been low, with my weight staying steady, which is why I even I brought it up in the first place!!

And BAM!! Another light bulb gets turned on here! Okay, so I’m a nice old lady but not always the brightest crayon in the box!

I always have access to them, but I don’t care for too many types. Love pecans, Brazil nuts, and peanuts. Hubby always has them around for snacks. But I don’t snack as a rule. I just don’t feel the need to. I’m simply not hungry. I never thought of them as a way to increase appetite! Thanks! Thank you so very much! What a…

Hi, Maxxitt! Thanks for your input. It’s nice that so many people are willing to hear me out and offer their insights. Yesterday I felt like hubby and I were in this by ourselves as we tried to figure it out. This morning I don’t feel that way anymore. The appetite thing is a well documented issue with my GP, my…

Thank you both for taking the time to answer my somewhat unusual question. Fluid retention may well be part of the problem, so I have been on Triamteterne/Hctz tablets for about 5 years now. My potassium runs low, so the trimaterne is the only effecticive medication which is considered a potassium sparing drug. The other…
