Do you live with any other health conditions in addition to CKD?

Many people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) also live with other health conditions. What other health conditions do you (or your loved one) live with? Were they diagnosed before or after CKD? How has it been managing multiple conditions? Please share your experiences with others!

  1. Also Neuropathy in feet and legs below knees. Lost a Kidney to cancer, stage 3b CKD in existing Kidney.

    1. Thank you Sweet Sister I am Margaret Deuel

    2. Finger Lakes Community or the one with no picture? Mine is me with my hair up.

  2. I like that I am quadruple chronic carrier. I have T1 diabetes (49 years), RA (22 years), AS (7 years) and CKD 3a (2 years). You know what, I still enjoy great laughs.


    1. I have severe spinal stenosis - I can hardly walk - osteoporosis, only one kidney, bladder condition that causes repeated UTIs, the artery that leads into my kidney is partially blocked.
      I feel lucky that I’ve had CKD for 20 years and still here. And still having fun! Bless you all🙏

    2. After 40 years of severe RA I can relate. It makes every day painful for sure. You are not alone in that but just know you can always come here to be around people who get it! Keep on keepin' on, DPM

  3. Yup I have diabetes. I don't which came first.

    1. I am sorry you also have diabetes. I have had T1D for 49 years on June 21 2023. I wish you the very best both with diabetes and CKD.

    2. Hello , Just wanted to see how you are getting along. How are you dealing with your diabetes and chronic kidney disease? Let us know how you are getting a long. Diane (Team Member)

  4. I also gave PN in my feet and lower legs. Fortunately not a lot of pain but my balance is off so I have to use a cane so I don't fall.

    1. Hi , thanks for chiming in with your experiences. Glad it isn't too painful for you. How long have you had PN for? Best, Minel (Team Member)
