Have you experienced any chronic kidney disease symptoms?
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) symptoms can often be quite inconspicuous – that's sometimes why CKD is referred to as a "silent" disease.
I'm curious to hear everyone's experiences with CKD symptoms. Some symptoms include fatigue, itchy or dry skin, leg swelling, trouble sleeping, nausea, bone disease, and urine changes.
Which have you experienced? Have you found any ways to help manage or cope with them? Please share!

My symptoms were joint pains very severe ones! Now I would say dry skin and a dry mouth
Itchy skin, back pain ,dry mouth
yes I do, drives me insane at times..I got stage 5 kidney failure, was on dialysis for 18 months I quit 5 months ago.. G'day. Interested to know more about why you quit and the reaction of medical staff? And your age? I am 87 with CKD 4 I read a study conducted in a US veterans hospita that found that for men over 65 the longevity difference between those who did or did not have dialysis was just 9 days except that those who did dialysis spent a lo of time in hospital. Have decided that I will not do diaysis. What alternative treatments are you having? Good luck with your progress.
Extreme tiredness and swelling.
Had no symptoms. But I had Bladder Cancer surgery 3 years
before I was diagnosed.me too! Do you have a stoma
I did too. Bladder cancer 3 times in 3 years. Then kidney cancer a year later. Lost one kidney and, super surprise to me, I am going into stage 4 CKD. All within 5 years. I feel ok so I'm surprised it's going to stage 4. No dialysis, nno meds yet. Probably all the fatigue and brain fog dulls everything for me, I guess.
