So, David (greenie) Greenberg, hey now that's what I call a catchy name...
You say that your Creatnine has slightly gone up, well I think it has a lot to do with Gleevec and I think that you had better stop eating those Polish Sausages. Salt is a big part of retaining water, and as we get older so does our kidney function. Believe me I know. When I was much younger I would think that I was invincible and twenty some odd years later Mother nature slapped me in my face and told me not to eat that crap that I was putting down my throat. But of course I didn't listen and ended up on dialysis and four years later with a kidney transplant. But I notice that you have become accustomed to trying to stop salt in your diet, and that is a very big plus for yourself. Also if your not diabetic try drinking Cranberry juice, it really cleans your kidneys out. Now just to be honest with you, every once in a while I like to eat Polish Sausages, and I pay dearly the next day. When I was on a cruise about twenty years ago I would like to eat Creaser salad, only this time the waiter brought over a bowl of anchovies and I put them on that salad. The next day I suffered with my legs stuffed with water, and the very worst part of it was the gout attack. I had to do to the ships doctor and get a shot of Prednisone. NEVER AGAIN!!! So my dear friend stop harassing your kidneys, you will feel much better for it... 18's Marty On Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 7:23 AM, myvety2k via CMLHope < cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > Hi Group, I have some good news and then some not so good news.
