Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

@Shaz51 @Former-Member @Former-Member 

 

Hi ladies - I would love to know when I have done the right amount - I so easily overdo - 

 

I'm sorry people have pain - and a migrating pain like yours Shaz could be a build up of urea - I really don't know but it seems  you have to take really basic pain medication and if the pain is bad - ah yeah - we do what we can I guess but it can't be easy

 

60 km is a long way to drive for an overnight stay but getting new clothes and an upgrade on the accommodation sounds pretty good. It sounds as if Mr Shaz had enough though - I hope you both feel rested even though - yeah - the car took longer to fix and the power went out - 

 

But you went and it sounds like a good night

I would love to know when I have done the right amount - I so easily overdo ------ ahhh me too @Owlunar , like on friday , i was cribbled from cleaning in the afternoon

 

a migrating pain like yours Shaz could be a build up of urea -- I am sure it is but it is not high enough so the specialist reacons , should keep a pain diary maybe xx

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Awww @Shaz51 ... I didnt realise this trip away coincided with your anniversary.  Happy Anniversary to you and Mr Shaz. 🌹

Was this also a volunteer function?  I have two invitations to lunches associated with my volunteer duties.  Unlikely I will get to go though as both of them clash with other medical commitments.  I have been volunteering here now for just over 10 years and they give certificates for 5 years service and then 10 years service.  Which I suppose is nice recognition. I'm glad you and your Mum have received the recognition that you both deserve.

 

No Shaz I dont think Mr Sherry experiences any aches and pains specific to his chronic kidney disease. But his kidney function is not as low as yours is.  Its possible your aches and pains are as a result of a build up of toxins in the blood. Toxins which are normally eliminated through the kidneys.  It could be urea specifically, but I would think its more likely a build up of potassium which could cause those symptoms.  I'd suggest you talk to  your kidney specialist about that though, because I am only guessing.  It could also be too much phosphates buiding up.  But more likely the potassium.  Have you been eating lots of bananas lately?  😊  Have you discussed these aches and pains with your endocrinologist?  I dont know, its possible its related to diabetes.  Lots of possibilities really.  

 

Hi @Owlunar  ... nice to see you there.  Lovely reading your beautiful posts all around the forums. 💜

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hi @Former-Member @Shaz51 

 

Thanks Sherry  - that is a really lovely comment - I have only got on-line late today - and I have been enjoying being around the forum more - it's really helpful for me - and I am glad you enjoy what I write

 

I didn't catch that it was your anniversary Shaz - so Happy Anniversary - it was great that you had this night away

 

I did a lot of volunteer work in the past and I have two certificates for doing volunteer work and it is really great to be acknowledged. That's not why we do it - but is a good thing for it to not just be done but seen to be done

 

As Sherry says it would be a good idea to see your specialist about the migrating pain - yes I know - you might have to restrict your diet more which would be boring - I understand
