See what your iron and hemoglobin levels are. Mine bottomed out years before I started D. I started taking epo a decade before my kidney function dropped enough. It can be treated - don't let them tell you it's "just part of ESRD..."

I'm stage 3 and my energy level isnt good at all. Getting threw 8 hours of work is a challenge sometimes. Dont wana see what its like in stage 4 or 5.

Besides the energy lose, I lost at least 70% strength in my legs. For a while, I couldn't get out of a chair without help. Now its better, but still a strain to get up. I have to use my upper body strength (and that is going downhill too) to get out of chairs, cars, and up stairs. EPO helps a lot, so does iron tablets or in my case iron shots every so often.
Over the last couple months, all seems to be improving, but still some days feel like (and do) going to bed and sleeping the day away. I also find that stress at work can take it's toll on your energy. Grumpy
