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
I always feel so much worse with weather changes, especially rain I have also noticed increased pain levels and/or inflammation during weather fluctuations, especially cold and/or damp weather. We had snow last week, and from Wednesday through Friday it was all my cousins and I could do to get dressed and make meals. One cousin is 86, he has arthritis and T2 diabetes, no kidney problems so far. My other one is 78, and she has rheumatoid arthritis, CLL, and COPD. I have arthritis, T2 diabetes, HBP, high cholesterol, GERD, seasonal allergies, and now the CKD along with it. Needless to say, our place is a mess.
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.
