I wish I knew when to expect good days and when to expect bad days. Now that I am on dialysis, I should be having all good days, right? Well that's not how it has been for me. Maybe I just need to give it more time. Maybe it has something to do with what I eat. Maybe it has to do with how active I am. Maybe it is related to the strength of the dialysis solution I use. Maybe it's a combination of all these things.
I have had a few good days lately, but then Bam! yesterday was a bad day. I had no energy. I woke up and got the kids ready for school then went back to bed. I read for a few minutes, then fell asleep until 1:30 in the afternoon! I guess my body needed the rest. Once I was awake, I couldn't seem to do much before feeling completely wiped out. I especially felt it in my arms. My arm muscles felt fatigued and limp. Today seems to be shaping up the same way so far.
One good thing is that the other day I found a couple of online discussion forums for dialysis patients. As I was reading through some of the posts, I really felt like I could relate. I felt like I wasn't alone. There are other people out there who feel exactly like I do! Wow, it was nice to discover these.
