My son is 24 and has CKD . He was born with one OK kidney and one very damaged kidney. Everything seemed “fine” until a couple of years ago when he developed gout and tests show the damaged kidney has declined. I am mad with worry and finding it very difficult to balance how to get him to take this seriously with not over worrying him about something that could all be sorted or is something that he will live with but doesn’t have to affect his life. I am a classic over thinker and I can’t discuss it with my husband as I drive him mad with my need for reassurance. Months can go by when I am paralysed with worry. Really looking for any help or tips on how to cope with this situation from this forum. Today I need to nag my son to get new appointments and tests which he missed because of the lockdown and just the thought of having to do this is making me very weepy and pathetic (after all it’s not me that has the condition)
