Dialysis once again ended with quite an uneventful note when I can no longer endure they hypo-tension I am feeling because I am trying to finish the last minutes but my vision is already blurring out and any second longer will cause me to get a shock or blackout and that is not good as it would risk me of having a cardiac arrest if not certain death if I did wished to complete my dialysis session today.

It might mean that I could be getting a much efficient dialysis because if the cause of my hypotension was due to low blood sugar brought about by the cleaning action of the dialysis considering that I ate a lot plus with an energy drink. But probably I am at my threshold where I can no longer try to reduce my body fluids so my current weight now is my real weight without additional fluids.

Whatever the cause of my hypotension today I am nonetheless happy that at least I finished near the allotted time, it would be bad if I just had a half or three quarters of my dialysis time and it will somehow affect me between dialysis. Now I will just try my best to regain my weight if I could do it by eating right. It is still a hard fight with frequent dialysis but nothing in life is easy anyways so I have to survive still the ravages of my life events upon me.

I hope the low blood pressure is because you've gained some weight. Thay would be the ideal scenario. Do you need to get a doctor's order to get your dry weight adjusted or will a nurse do it?

It is hard to say if I am gaining real weight because I can still wrap my fingers around my arm, they are still skin and bones still.
I don't often see my doctor so the nurses just relays patient's problems to her. Right now nurses only agrees to adjust my dry weight on certain post-dialysis result parameters.

I know that in life there will be sickness, devastation, disappointments, heartache it's a given. What's not a given is the way you choose to get through it all. If you look hard enough, you can always find the bright side.
