Hugs back at ya!!
Erin, Symptoms for Kidney disease are headaches, high platlet, (and yes, i was told that's normal for mg'ers as well) My filtration rate is 43, or was it 45, anyways, that's stage 3 kidney disease. Being tired, dizzyness, being nauseated at times, and you can have aching kidneys.
Iron levels in blood work will be low. Mine was so low, I had to have iron infusions, and I have to give myself ProCrit injections every two weeks.
Many of the symptoms, and blood work you described are the same for Kidney disease.
In May, I have to have a biopsey. Not looking forward to that.
I also have to go and get an updated stress echo to see what my Pulmonary pressures are, as I have Pulmonary Hypertension. I have that at the being of june, souly because in May I have appts. galore.
I also have Cardio problems, and have had them since my late twenties. Some things you have go with cardiac problems, and some don't. It's funny, cause there are so many things out there that can cause the same symptoms.
Ask your doctor to do a kidney function test, which can be rather routine in blood work, so it isn't something odd to check, where the insurance company will give you trouble or anything.
Medically speaking, I've been going through quite a bit, and have spent a lot of time down.
I sure hope it's nothing with your blood work, or just a passing problem as we all get, and not something that will be complicated.
it's so good to talk with you.
Love Lizzie
P.S. Listen to Annie, she knows a lot too.
