I Want To Be As Sensitive As Possible...To Caffeine

I had been battling lately, for many years that is, about my blood pressure which is crashing all the time at dialysis. It has been crashing even when I am using the small and common dialyzer (the blood filter) which now I believe was not the cause of my blood pressure crashes but fortunately I was able to use the more efficient type that cleans my blood better.

So I turned to food and I did ate a lot whenever I can because I believed that it was the solution and yet my BP crashed anyways. I also turned to drinking an energy drink but it doesn't work sometimes as I get my BP to crash as well. It turns out that the caffeine in my energy drink is not enough to make me survive the treatment.

Caffeine In Pill Form Was The Solution That I Am Looking For

So ultimately I added a caffeine pill to the mix which is now giving me about 364 mg of caffeine in one sitting. I do think that it is enough because I am not able to sleep after the treatment. I am so glad and happy that I had found a way to support my blood pressure so I am keeping that technique so that I will be able to get into my best weight hopefully if my nurses would cooperate.

Anyway caffeine really has a negative effects in the bones, it prevents it from absorbing Calcium that is why I am not taking it everyday. Unfortunately I have to take it because my dialysis session will be affected which is a very big issue for me because it translates to my well-being. A low quality dialysis session is not good for a dialysis patient.

If Only I knew About The negative Effects Of Caffeine To My Bones I Would Have Quit Taking It In My Dialysis Years Already

It seems to little too late that I have learned that caffeine is very detrimental to the bones because I was taking it even in my very young age and it has been in my system ever since especially in my dialysis days where I do not drink anything but some small amounts of it everytime I would eat so that I could be able to eat and swallow my food in the years that I had a very bad appetite because of anemia.

This is a case again of being between a rock and a hard place knowing that Caffeine in my condition is bad but I do have to take it because I want to complete my dialysis session. But anyway I will just try to quit it in-between sessions since its effects would fade away after a few hours and then abstinence from Caffeine afterwards so that I will not make my Calcium and Vitamin D3 and K2 therapy in vain because I really have to make my joint pains go away and at this moment I am just relying on that effort to make some positive changes in my body.

Realizing that must’ve really sucked. Anyway, we’re here if you need to talk about stuff. At least you figured that out now, and not later.
