Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Hello all. I'm a 42 year old male with stage 3 CKD. I've been looking into TRT in order to address a long standing issue I've had with fatigue. My testosterone is at the low end of the normal range; however, a private clinic I have been speaking to are willing to treat me and bring my levels up to t...

Re: post exercise fatigue

Thanks wagolynn. My general health isn't too bad, apart from abnormal readings relating to my CKD (urea, creatinine, uric acid), all else is in the normal range, e.g. blood pressure about 110/75. I'm 41 years old and I used to be able to go to the gym 6-7 days a week in my early 20s. So its very dep...

post exercise fatigue

I've tried to start up several times but I always suffer from severe fatigue and brain fog for 1-2 weeks after any kind of exercise. My nephrologist can't explain it- ...

Re: Rhodiola Rosea and anti-depressants

Re: Rhodiola Rosea and anti-depressants

Thanks to everyone that commented. My back pain is definitely kidney related as I also have a slipped disc and the pain I get from these two conditions are distinctly different. I've decided to try some other techniques to increase my energy levels and give my kidneys a break from pharmaceutical/her...

Rhodiola Rosea and anti-depressants

Hello everyone, I'm new to the KPG forum. I'm a 37 year old male in the UK with stage 3 CKD. My kidney function has been relatively stable since diagnosis 10 years ago (creatinine 160-180, eGFR circa 40, high uric acid levels for which I take Febuxostat); however, I often struggle with low moods, lo...
