Some days, when I first get up, I feel very wobbly / weak-legged. Could this just be an anemia thing? It was every day for a while a couple of months ago, and seems much more irregular now. By the time I walk from my bedroom to the family room (across the house) to send the dogs out potty, I'm pretty much back to normal.

I'm pre-ESRD with about 25% function.

I feel weak most mornings when I wake up (I'm about 30% functioning kidneys), and it takes about 45 minutes to get my act together. A warm shower helps to get the ball rolling, that and a large glass of water helps the queeziness to subside. However, if this is not normal for you, maybe some new meds or vitamins could be part of the problem. Or change in diet. Hopefully you'll figure it out soon. Or like with me, you just learn to live with it.

Have you started any new medication recently?  I know that when i take my Lyrica at night, i wake up feeling more wobbly than normal (i am a wobbly person by nature) lol,  but i can defiently tell the difference when i take that pill.  Good luck to you and keep us posted on how your doing ok.  Hang in there  :cuddle;
