My Quite Simple Succeeding Plans For My Next Dialysis Sessions 🌿🩸🏥

A few Tries Would Validate My Initial Result

I had been having some fruits lately, it is just some apples mostly and I use it to counter the aftertaste of my Parathyroid medicine, Cinacalcet. It would give me some fiber and some micronutrients in the process, I think it is better than drinking a lot of fruit juices as the chewing action helps me get rid of metallic-spicy, nauseating after-taste. No wonder that most patients that takes it just gives up because you definitely will not feel well with the said side-effects and appetiteloss.

But eating fruits for me is not that easy as it seems, I can now eat it easy yes but it makes me go to the toilet every so often. It is an issue because I have not only a mobility problem but also some pain issues. So I am just forced to take some pain medications or else going to the toilet would be very painful chore to do which scares me because I am thinking of fracturing my bones in the process of using the bathroom.

I Needed To Eat Prior For My Dialysis It Seems Although My Appetite Is Spoiled At Dialysis Meal Time

That will be the compromise because I have to eat some kind of food and I chose fruits for that matter because I can chew it longer to help me with my nausea issue which surprisingly I had been battling through for more about two years now. I just hope that taking some pain reliever won't make another illness inside me particularly to my digestive system which are also inherently defective because my intolerance to lactose too.

Anyway I just had a good dialysis yesterday, good in terms of I didn't experience a fall in blood pressure which happens almost every time. In effect I was not able to request for my dry weight adjusted accordingly so I just suffer from breathlessness which is expected because having a lot of extra water in the body is no joke, it affects you blood pressure and overall feeling of ill-health if you can just imagine being bloated all the time with extra water in your system.

If Calcium Was The Factor In My BP Crashes Then It Is The Key In Solving My Hypotension

I just needed to finish my dialysis sessions each and everytime. The reason being that I needed a good clean quality for my blood so that I won't feel much ill in-between sessions. I also have to complete the water-drawing set-up where I am taken out with extra fluids and I do not want the nurses adding saline solution into my system when my blood pressure goes down. It is their way of stabilizing BP without medicines so my body's extra water is compromised. As a result I would go home still bloated and breathless if BP crashes happens.

So my plans is just simple, to just eat prior for my dialysis session and take my usual phosphate binder plus extra calcium tablets prior and during my dialysis session. The reason for that is to supplement my body's requirements of Calcium and blood sugars as these things are taken out during dialysis from the body and if they go low it would mean a BP crash, at least that is my theory.

Better Late Than Never

I did just that and it worked surprisingly so I will continue doing that until I am able to survive dialysis without compromising my BP and the quality of my blood cleaning session. After a few more with the same results then I would conclude that eating and taking extra calcium tablets are the keys for stabilizing the dialysis patient's blood pressure without it going so low. So I am just optimistic about it and I think God if the succeeding results validates my own personal theory.
