CKD & ileostomy due to Crohn's disease and Type 2 diabetes

Does anyone else have this combo. I also have depression/anxiety and chronic pain.

  1. Just wanted to chime in and offer some of the info we have on mental health: https://chronic-kidney-disease.net/mental-health It is certainly important and can play a huge part in the disease. That all-important "positive outlook" that the doctors keep telling us we need to keep up can be difficult to achieve! Just know you are not alone in this. Keep on keepin' on, DPM

    1. Thanks - I've been treated with meds and therapy on and off for around 34 years - it's mainly genetic in my case, unfortunately.
