I saw the neph yesterday and it was a good day.  My labs were great!  GFR 15%, creatinine 3.2, and all the other numbers were in the normal range. He just looked at me and kind of shook his head.  He said he doesn't know what I am doing, but it sure is working for me.   I credit alot of my "success" to IHD. The knowledge and power you have all shared has given me strength and the ability to make good decisions.    So, now I just want to keep everything on this course.  My hip is getting better, finally able to sleep, and I can live with being tired all the time.   :thumbup; Oh yeah, still throwing up----but I am truly just enjoying the numbers holding steady and will celebrate any small victory!  :clap;

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

paris, that is wonderful.  :thumbup; Isn't there something they can give you for nausea. Len took something a couple of years ago, I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. I can't believe they didn't offer you something. Your numbers are wonderful. Keep up whatever you are doing. You should be celebrating. good for you.  :yahoo;

Excellent! So glad to hear that your numbers are stable. Too bad about the fatigue and vomiting, though  :(.

I've learned a lot from you, Paris, and I'm always impressed with your strength and grace, through good days and bad.  Thanks for being here, and keep on keeping on, okay?  Love ya, girlfriend!

Small victory?   Oh no.   Large victory.   I am so happy for you.  Keep it up and stay off of dialysis as long as possible.

Great work.
