Do you know why there’s a shortage of doctor? Because entities like Optum Rx decides to DENY coverage for Cellcept for my renal transplant pt. We have appealed and denied, twice. I am now requesting a peer to peer and “Janice” decides to placed me on-hold without asking; 41 minutes now waiting. Medical insurances are a SCAM - Optum Rx needs to be held responsible for ANY adverse event cause by this change in prescription coverage

Donna Motton - I know the feeling Donna, so I am posting this for all my patients, praying every day they find the strength to keep the fight

Dialysis is tough mentally and physically.
WITH A BROKEN HEART 💔 AND TEARS IN MY EYES, NOTHING IS MORE PAINFUL THAN TRYING TO SMILE AND REMAIN POSITIVE. BUT, AFTER A DIALYSIS SESSION, A PERSON PHYSICALLY CHANGES AND THEY SUFFER WITH SADNESS. I KNOW MANY OF YOU DON'T GIVE A HOOT ABOUT THIS MESSAGE BECAUSE KIDNEY FAILURE HAS NOT AFFECTED YOU. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE FOUGHT THE FIGHT, OR HAVE A LOVED ONE WHO LEADS OR HAS LEAD A BATTLE AGAINST KIDNEY DISEASE.
FOR ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN I KNOW, I ASK YOU A SMALL FAVOR - I KNOW ONLY SOME OF YOU WILL DO IT. IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS LED A BATTLE AGAINST KIDNEY FAILURE, STILL STRUGGLING OR WHO PASSED, PLEASE ADD THIS TO YOUR STATUS FOR ONE HOUR AS A MARK OF SUPPORT, RESPECT AND REMEMBRANCE. IN SUPPORT OF ALL WHO SUFFER OF KIDNEY FAILURE 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

This is the reason why sodium bicarbonate daily is so important in patients with chronic kidney disease and metabolic acidosis
https://www.kidneymedicinejournal.org/article/S2590-0595(21)00115-1/fulltext

Metabolic acidosis related to chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an accelerated decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the development of end-stage kidney disease. Whether metabolic acidosis is associated with cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with CKD is unclear.

Today I found out that there is a new term known as Covid depression that can affect people who have historically not shown any signs of depression.
It's been 6 months....Mental health issues related to our lock down and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression and other mental health disorders. NAMI, The National Alliance on Mental Health has a 24-hour helpline: 800-950-6264. The relapse and overdose rate has increased by 30% since March 2020.
