  1. CKD has affected my energy level.

    1. For me CKD has had a huge emotional effect. I was diagnose in 1977 GFR of 38 now 13 no dialysis, yet. Learning to live and still grow from the experience has given me a more fulfilling understanding on what it means to be human.

      1. The unknown!

        1. Energy level and painful legs

          1. me too! My legs so weak and any type of steps or walking an incline I can hardly stand.

          2. I too have trouble just walking to my mailbox. When in a store I push a cart to manage just walking. It's like bricks holding my feet down. I hate it too because I've never had a problem walking
