Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Ginger, The kidney man asked me why I was there. My primary care Dr.made the appointment because she was concerned about my reduced kidney functions that show up in blood work. My wife thinks that could have something to do with my feet and legs swelling. It could be gout. Something to do with the acid in your blood. Kidneys not working as good as they did years ago. Diabeties could be a factor. I appreciate your concern. I think the predisone run my sugar up. It was around 125 to 150 before pred. It went well over 200 with pred. After I quit pred my surar returned to better numbers. I see my lung man soon and he will not be pleased that I am medicating myself. Take Care Grey Re: Grey Don't give up, please. So many of your sends are words of encouragement to myself and others. If I may ask, why did the Kidney Doc feel you needed a stint...what symptoms led him to that decision? You are in my prayers continually. kiss kiss, ~Ginger~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's prednisone I'm coming your way with a switch. Thank care of you but let the Dr. do the medication.. God Bless you and your lovely wife. Peggy Ginger, The kidney man asked me why I was there.
