I'm only 22 and was just diagnosed with stage 2 chronic kidney disease...help?I've just got home from the doctors and was diagnosed with this and I'm not sure what to expect. I am only 22 years old, have two wonderful kids and just got married. The doctor pretty much said to eat as much as possible, since my muscle mass is low and I am very petite (5' and 92 lbs right now). I've been losing weight steadily even though I eat all the time. She was going to put me on meds to help keep the protein from spilling into my urine but it can lower blood pressure and mine is already low...92/64 today...so that's out of the question. I go back in 6 months for a check up and blood work, and she said to come in at any time if I feel I am getting worse. What should I be looking out for? I'm already tired ALL the time, urinate 2-3 times/hour and even more at night, etc.
Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have literally looked at every website related to this disease and asked my nephrologist many questions. I am looking for more personal experience.

I don't think you need to be getting advice here for such a serious problem. Google or do searches from WebMD or Mayo clinic or somewhere reputable - also American Kidney Foundation or other group - Best of luck to you -
