shall I need to be worried?

Ok, got my blood test called GFR, which is filtration rate for kidneys.
MY number for a mmmm 61 yr old was 78 and listed as Stage two kidney
disease. NOW my rbc's is dropping more and more but seems this is the
worst. NO protein in urine and no blood there either. ONly wide
hypertension and irregular heart beat again, which I attributed to more
medrol with my foot. Also very tired most of the time. I see rheumy the
13th.
Should I be concerned about this? should I want a medication to prevent
damage more?? what shall I ask doc about?? I see the heart doc today so I
will ask about the bp problems and yes with my meds for bp there is a
diuretic in it so that is good.

NOW another problem, I am in a boot cast on my left foot due to plantar
fasciitis and tibialis tendonitis. I could barely walk even with pt,
injections and inserts. NOW this for a month, can take it off for shower and
water exercise.
Anyone ever have this? I have MCTD and did pop a tendon so finger is in
splint also does this mean MORE damage to the connective tissue and am I
going to POT !!! LOL

I don't know much about all of this. I just wanted to send a hug and
let you know you'll be in my prayers.

Having been in that position I know there are meds that will stabilize =
your bp and heartbeat to a comfortable rate and level.....=20
If it was me? I'd push your doc to get you to a cardio/internist =
specializing in cardio and see what can be done ... good luck!

Hi again, just saw my heart specialist who is following me for hypertension
and atrial fib, Put me on another dose of tenormin, or atenolol and try
that. If bp still up with irregular rhythm she may have to add another bp
pill. DUH

She is a cardio doc and has followed me for a few years.

thanks guys for info

No magic formula for that one LOL. I intend to be there and IF possible use
a wheelchair to do it. what ever works.

MORE importantly is the problem of collecting sponsors for me. I can't get
around to do that and so less money will be there for the LFA..

YOU an only do so much lady, remember that LOL

Did you get outside????heheheh
