stage 1 kidney disease
I have stage 1 kidney disease. I'm not diabetic, I don't have high blood pressure. I don't drink alcohol any more. I drink a lot of water 5 to 8 glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. My question is sometimes I wake up just feeling awful all over joints, muscles, head feels floaty. I try hard to get moving and be productive but I just feel yucky. This will last a few days and then I wake up one day and feel great for a few days. My husband is very supportive in either case. Any answers or suggestions out there? I have a great Dr. who listens well, but has no answers. I also have a Nephrologist I see rarely but when he does see me also listens well, runs tests, etc., but I'm still feeling this way. Any help anyone?

None of us are doctors and we cannot give out medical advice. Stage one Kidney disease is a chronic condition for which as you may know is no cure. Stopping the advance of the disease requires a change in life style. You say you do not drink any more; where you a heavy drinker at one time? If so this might be the cause of your liver problem.
As to your question. I live with chronic pain due to an inoperable skeleton injury. On days where my pain scores are higher than is usually can tolerate I feel as you write about feeling. I have to be careful the pain doesn't get out of control for pain causes, anxiety which can cause depression. I do have good days when the medication I take keeps the pain under control and I am almost pain free. I have noticed that the weather seems to play a part in how I feel. Warm to hot and humid days are bad. Dry cool days are good.
I suggest you listen to your body it will tell you when it is feeling good and why. On good days pay attention to everything. what you have eaten in the past 24 hours. The weather, your activities so on and so forth. On days you feel yucky do the same thing. Look to see what is different between the two days and try to eliminate that which is different from the bad days.
Of course there will be some things you will not want to do without. For those things when you want to do them or make a meal with them stop and think if your willing to suffer the consequences and how much you are willing to suffer. This is what I have to do with the things I have had to eliminate in order to try and stay as pain free as possible
