Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / June 2006shall 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 !!!

I just wanted to send a hug and let you know you'll be in my prayers. Maggie Having been in that position I know there are meds that will stabilize your bp and heartbeat to a comfortable rate and level..... 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! hugs, Shelagh http://clik.to/lupus > 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 [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > janers 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 janers In article <RPqdnd8O_-B0aePZnZ2dnUVZ_tSdnZ2d@bright.net>, O.K. Janers with that foot in the cast how are you going to do that lupus walkathon???? If you have some magic potion that you are going to use to help you walk we hope you will share it with the group cheers ruth > 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 [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > janers 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 hugs janers Janers, Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! Hugs, sherry |
