I've Been So Thrifty On My Fluid Consumption To Make Me Feel Better Between Dialysis Treatment SessionssteemCreated with Sketch.

The weather had been fair for weeks now because it was the rainy season already and thankfully the rains had been pretty much milder and just enough to wash things like the roofs and the roads and in effect there isn't much dust especially when you travel.

But I do like the rainy season if not for my current situation where my main way of eliminating extra fluids from my body now is via perspiration as my Kidneys are no longer working. So I have to rely on dialysis to squeeze off the fluids that I intake and that was the norm for more than 17 years now.

If the weather is hot and humid I could also drink much more because of the perspiration that I create and that allows me to excrete extra toxins from my skin. Of course that is not enough to clean my system so again I have to get a dialysis treatment to clean my body of water-soluble toxins along with compounds and vitamins that my body also needs.

Unfortunately not all protein compounds can be cleaned off and not all metals that I was ingesting unknowingly gets eliminated due to their properties and that I think was the cause of my weakness and other wrong things or imbalances in my body and that is what I have to accept because I cannot do anything about it.

What I can only do is to have a self-control and avoid things that will make me feel bad between dialysis days. So I am just controlling my food, not eating salty foods so that I won't get thirsty because I have to manage my fluid intake so that I will not get so breathless before my dialysis. Anyway the nurses are conditioned already that I could not tolerate a certain amount of fluids to n=be taken out from my body so I have to factor that in otherwise I will just suffer.

It is not good for me to eat more anyway so i am just eating whenever I feel hunger since my body is weak as well as my inner body systems like my digestion.

I think that intermittent fasting is good for me so that I could manage to eat at least a sensible amount of food. I was also eating with my hands sometimes so that I could eat more as the added sensation of food in my hand helps me with that.

Right now I just have to adapt to the weather because it doesn't make me perspire so I have to control and be thrifty in my fluid consumption and in doing so I will not get the hardship od being so breathless in-between dialysis sessions.
