Chronic Kidney Disease
I, within the last month, found out I'm in stage 2 of chronic kidney disease. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) has been horrible for me. It first started on my right side and is now working on the left. I was diagnosed in 2017. I've read that PsA can affect so many parts of your body, these are the parts that it's affected on me: stage 2 kidney disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, psoriasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, hand surgery due to pain and my hands stay so swollen you can't even see my knuckles, back surgery, uveitis and about to have cataract surgery, anxiety, depression, severe pain every day 24/7 just different degrees of pain.
In the morning I don't want to get out of bed because my feet hurt so bad on the bottom and now my hips are in pain. I have a torn Achilles tendon in my right heel for a few years now. Short-term memory is horrible. I have damage to the nerve in my right inner ear, it's called vestibular neuritis. I have vertigo that can come and go at any time. I think I'd consider myself a worst-case scenario. Also, I can't take any medication for my PsA. All of them gave me migraines, vertigo, or both at the same time. I'm just trying to live my life for as long as I can. Right now I'm able to do things and I'm going to make the most of it.
