My kidney function is also down to 50%. I've always been large and had a bit of belly fat down near my navel. However, I look like a pregnant woman with my abdomen extended and very rigid. I've had swollen lymph nodes in my neck for at least the past three months according to the PA I see at the clinic (no insurance). He doesn't act like it's a big deal. I haven't been ill, had a sore throat, no dental problems or any of the usual causes. The nodes are not red or tender either. I have had a lot of chest pain, bone/arthritis pain and have complained about extreme fatigue for well over a year. However, all my concerns have gone unanswered. Any ideas as to what might be causing all this? Thanks for any help.
