I am in 4th stage CKD - GFR of 23. I have been struggling the last few weeks with big-time fatigue and heavy-feeling legs. I already have a history of being tired and slow recovery from workouts anyway so it's hard to tell if this has anything to do with worsening kidneys - but it feels different and worse then usual.
Can anyone share with me the symptoms they experienced as their kidneys worsened?
Hi,
Yes, I can relate. I am at stage 4 for the 3rd time in my life. My GFR is abour 22. I too get those heavy feeling legs. Sometimes this can happen when your phospherous is low or high, I forget which. Its probably time to call you doctor to have your bloods drawn. They can give you supplements to help when your electrolites go crazy, a common problem with folks like us. I use a cane when I feel like this because I have had several falls. So be careful until you get some help.
