Bad news from the Dr
Been feeling a bit weird lately so I decided it was time to visit the Dr's office. Initial bloodwork shows severe advanced renal and heart failure. So, more tests upcoming but not looking real good.

I've placed you on my list... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wish the bet for ya', just remember to get more than one opinion on any treatment.
My brother in-law who has had 'heart failure' for years and years (no telling how many heart operations he's had, I stopped keeping count), also has some level of kidney failure to go along with it (whether due to medication or simply evolved because of a weak heart, we don't know). It isn't total kidney failure (meaning dialysis and/or transplant) but came close at one point.
He kept getting the runaround because kidney doctors wouldn't do anything (i.e. prescribe) until his heart was better and heart doctors wouldn't do anything until his kidneys were better. Luckily my sister is a total bitch and insisted other doctors see him (he's a Vet so all this is at the VA). Eventually she found doctors that would work on him and actually consult with each other (sometimes it's like doctors work in silos). Long story short, he's still kicking around today because of that.
He's proof you can get through this, just keep your head up!
You're in my prayers.
So sorry to hear news like this. You can turn this around. I will also pray for you 🙏
You will be in my prayers. It is amazing what Medical Science can do. Keep the faith, Brother.
Just wanted to check in on you. Everything going ok?
Tnx for the update brother...
Thanks man. Keep the faith!
You remain in my prayers, Brother.
Congestive heart failure and diabetes are what I'm facing. Prescribed lots of medications to combat the symptoms. Have a lung capacity test on the 10th and a followup on the 31st to check how / if the meds are helping.

Thanks for the update. Will add you to prayer chain 🙏
…. you call the doctor? OK,
…. the doctor calls you? Not OK.
or, at least, that has been my experience.
Agreed...
Diabetes is a pain in the ass. I inject insulin twice a day, and can't eat anything that tastes good. This may sound strange, but I think diabetes saved my life. Because of diabetes I had to loose weight and watch what I eat. I had the main artery in my heart 90% clogged and had by pass surgery two years ago. If I hadn't lost the weight and improved my diet, I may have had a heart attack. They found the clog during a stress test not as a result of a heart attack. I had a friend that had his main artery rupture while he was in the hospital and they couldn't save him. I guess what I'm trying to say is things aren't always as bad as they seems. With Gods help, you will get through this.
Well said
🙏🏻
No idea
