I was encouraged. We went grocery and Costco shopping today, and I never got tired. A couple weeks ago, that would have worn me out.

I'll play golf again on Monday and that should be another test.
I think I'll get over this. For a while, I wasn't sure.

I had a setback on Friday. I self-tested for Covid and am positive. I think it's like an upper respiratory infection on steroids. I seem to be recovering quickly, but now Barb has it. She has totally different symptoms. I guess that's one of Covid's trademarks. Everyone probably reacts to it differently.

My son just went through that. It lasted almost a week. He's back to work but says his energy level is low and he tires easily. He's been told that the quickly tireing is common and lasts a couple of weeks after you're otherwise recovered.

tomas1- so sorry to hear of the COVID bug hitting you. I've heard it can sap the energy right out of you. Hope you get back to the level of when you were able to go shopping.

So do you think the tadalafil or sildenafil contributed to your kidney problems?

I haven't taken any of the ED oral drugs in years. My kidney problem was due to urine backing up to the kidneys due to the enlarged prostate. More labs late this month should tell how I'm faring.

Thanks for clarification. I had no idea that could happen. I guess we really need to take care of our prostates. I wish you the best and hope you get the care you need.

My daughter talked to an old retired nephrologist about me.
He said TURP surgery is the gold standard for what happened to me.
I always just thought that enlarged prostate was just a nuisance.

if you have a enlarged prostate look up saw palmetto and stinging nettle supplements as alternative or addition to pharm dugs
