Mild uptick of ant GLP1RA activity on X/Twitter after Ozempic got an indication for #kidney disease protection in individuals living with #diabetes and chronic kidney disease #ckd. Sampling bias or butthurt among the keto/supplement bros?

08:45AM appointment à Périgueux tomorrow. Annual cardiologist visit for my kidney transplant file. So that will be a 07:00AM start, which is killer for me in my current stage of kidney disease. 🥱

Remember my #RuleOf10 when treating the high risk for #heart, #hypertension #kidney badness in people living with #diabetes and #ckd if you have a hard time remembering doses. The rule is to use 10mg of :
Ramipril
Empagliflozin or dapagliflozin
Rosuvastatin
Ezetimibe
Amlodipine

My cat has health issues - chronic kidney failure, specifically. She weighs half of what she should despite rather aggressively eating, and if I'm being honest it's probably only so long before I start doing subq fluids to try to supplement her.

One of the weirder issues has been low phosphorus treats for her - treats that won't mess her up too badly. Looks like one of the more expensive brands (weruva) finally rolled some out, so I guess it's experiment time? Hopefully she accepts them. Because like everything else...

This shit is frustratingly expensive. She's worth it, mind, but still. :/

Pan #Draghi navrhuje půjčit si peníze a nalít je do ekonomiky. Na jednu stranu je fajn, že konečně někdo popsal, jak jsme v Evropě v háji, na druhou stranu mi to přijde jako bláhová snaha dohnat nejvýkonnější ekonomiky světa, které mají levné zdroje, a které jsou již teď o deset let vývoje napřed. Možná se povede postavit jednu fabriku, ale ta Evropu nezachrání. Žádný nový #Volkswagen nevznikne ani kdyby se do toho nalily miliardy. #Evropa je prostě drahá a bude drahá, když si lidé budou chtít zachovat svůj blahobyt.
Bývalý úspěch Československa byl postaven na levných zdrojích a levné pracovní síle. Vyráběli jsme kdeco, třeba lokomotivy, ale to jen díky tomu, že nedaleko #ČKD stála #poldovka
A ta tam stála proto, že v místě se nacházelo uhlí, železná ruda a vápenec. Ani jedno už tam není, proto ani Poldovka, ani ČKD, ani ty lokomotivy. Totéž se brzy může stát Volkswagenu, a tudíž vezme s sebou Škodovku.

spoonie, whining, kidney pain?

If you follow my blog, you know that I am in limbo waiting on some tests to determine if I am going to have surgery for failure to completely empty my bladder. You also know I have chronic pain from #fibro and I have "fluctuating #CKD".

This morning, I woke to a dull aching pain in my back, but only where my left kidney is located. So, did I just sleep wrong? Did the bladder problem get worse?

Chronic illness discussion hospitals Crohn’s and poop chat

I must be doing a bit better this morning as I was allowed to get up to the toilet, and I’m attempting to decipher France Inter 7/10 sur la radio. Coffee and yogurt so hopefully a none too painful 💩 to come, which I am dreading in case of any straining needed. Typically my Crohn’s has been so well behaved that I have a wee bit of difficulty once a day at the moment.

Discussion of chronic disease

Tuesday I go into hospital to have a catheter fitted into my abdomen for home peritoneal dialysis.

My last couple of blood tests have been the worst ever so feels like it’s just in time to start dialysis around a month later, what a Christmas present!

Feels like I’ve been fighting a war of attrition to avoid this day since diagnosis in 2008, even more so since it seemed imminent back in 2012, so feels quite deflating tbh.

There is no value in using #alkali therapy to slow down the progression of #ckd based on the BiCARB and VALOR-CKD trials.

(There may be other valid reasons to use #alkali therapy, but slowing down CKD progression is not one of them).

Happy Caturday!

Update on Loki: we’ve been giving him fluids; last night was the 1st night he held still enough for us to get all the recommended amount in him. We also found a few foods he likes, and he finished a course of antibiotics that we think helped his kidneys. He seems to be feeling better overall. Thanks to everyone for your advice and well-wishes! 🙏❤️
