I was diagnoised with high blood pressure in my kidneys about 3yrs ago. After finding that out, I started researching lupus and kidney disease. I found out that Flaxseed is good for people with lupus and kidney disease. I add a tablespoon of flaxseed to my grits or orange juice everyday and drink plenty of water throughout the day. My kidney doctor started noticing changes in my kidney functions and blood pressure.

I'm hurting today. I have pain in lower back, right lung area and right hand fingers, thumb etc. Life is challenging, but am enduring with a smile. I did get my flu shot though and haven't gotten the flu. Remember to always wash your hands, running your hands and between fingers, our immune system is weaker than others.☺

I my rheumatologist checks mine with the rest of my lab test. I try to drink more water if I see my urine getting to dark. I drink more now than I was younger. It does a make a difference.

I had Kidney Disease before I was diagnosed with Lupus. I get my creatinine checked every Monday because I do in Home IV treatments 6 days a week. It’s important for everyone to drink adequate water, and try to stay away from caffeinated beverages. This is a wonderful place to learn from each other. 💜
