Has anyone in ESRF (pre-Dialysis/Dialysis) experienced

the weather causing changes in their condition etc. (i.e. headaches etc.) ?

Thanks from Kristina.

I haven't felt anything different, and with the weather roller coaster we've had here in Colorado the last 2 weeks I think something would have triggered.

Since kidney failure (just over a year for me) the extreme cold or extreme heat I can not tolerate like I used to, so its lots of layers and more heat in the winter and just the opposite in the summer  :)

Headaches caused by weather sounds more like an underlying sinusitis or rhinitis problem.

I had chronic sinusitis even before my kidneys started to fail.  And I could always tell what the weather was like outside just from the way my nose felt.

I get a lot of joint pain in the ankles, wrists, and elbows in spring and fall, or if it's excessively damp.  I don't tolerate cold very well anyway.  I'm sure I was born in the wrong climate. *L*

Thanks very much for your kind comments, they are very much appreciated.

The weather seems to affect people in different ways for different reasons, if at all.
I conclude from this there is nothing particular about the weather affecting people in ESRF.

Thanks again from Kristina.  :thx;

Hello, Jean, my GFR is at the moment 11%, what is yours ?

My GFR has been fluctuating between 10% and 12% for almost three years.

I do hope you are alright and I send you my kind regards, Kristina.
