Was kept in for 3 days and given IV iron and put on iron tablets.
Visit to consultant on Wednesday there conformed decreased kidney function is due to diabetes and as it's dropped so much since September that they want to place me on the transplant list and get one done asap.
Not good at all. Have been totally shattered and out of breath at the smallest amount of exercise or walking short distances.
Shocked and worried but hopefully I'll feel so much better.
Still trying to find a job after being made redundant recently too. But not feeling well enough to attend interviews is a hindrance.

I know exactly what you're going through. Going through it myself but with PKD. Just feel kind of in limbo at the mo. I hope you manage to get things under control.
I tend to pee a lot of blood so have to have my blood checked often. My first iron infusion weren't too bad, but they seem to put them through quicker now and the last one I ended up really ill afterwards.
