Depression

At my last doctor appointment My test showed I’m up to 3b. I also have bipolar which is being treated with 300mg of Lithium. I’m confused because I have fatigue severely and can’t figure out where it is coming from. Does anyone else experience what I am going through. Also everytime I drink something I have to urinate

  1. Hello , It's normal to feel down when you get bad news. Talked to your healthcare team about your fatigue. They will have to narrow it down. It could be from the medication or from the fact that you have CKD. I urinate all day and all night, but I do drink a lot of water. Bring this up to your doctor at your next visit. Thanks for sharing some of your journeys with us. Also, if your depression is interfering with your everyday life, reach out to someone immediately. You are a lot alone on this journey.

    1. Thanks for your reply. I do have a therapist when she is available to speak about depression. I’m overwhelmed because CKD is not my only health challenge and I’m 68 this is when I thought of enjoying my life. I have two grown children so my life is my own. Then comes health situations that take up most of my free time. Sorry for being negative.
