On Wyslone For IGA Nephropathy. Feeling Exhausted. Need Diet Advice

I have been diagonised with IGA nephropathy . On Wyslone 30 mg OD and Vitamin D. I started medication on Nov 13th. Off late every morning I wake up I am exhausted . Cant really do too much. Only the day I have Vitamin D which is once weekly I have got some energy. Now Wyslone is reduced to 20 mg. Please suggest if fish is a right food to take in . I understand it is also proteins .

Nephrologist,  's  Response
Sometime being on steroid itself is exhausting. Most patients do mistakes in avoiding salt and restricting fluids too much. 4-6 g salt per day is ok. Drink water to thirst. Omega 3 fatty acids which are derived from fatty fishes has been shown to be of some benefit in IgA nephropathy. Eating couple of pieces of fish is OK. Fatty fish are good for their fatty acids.
