What's your experience with dialysis? Give & get support here

@dhelmstetter, thanks for telling me. I was under the impression that people could work on their laptops during dialysis but that would require arm movement. The needle thing doesn't bother me but being immobile for 3 1/2 hrs doesn't sound like a picnic. Has your care team offered any explanation for feeling like a basket case afterward?

I believe it is common. One time the doc wanted me on for 4 hours. I remained a zombie once home and got put to bed after about 2 hours just starting at a spot on the wall. I phoned the next day refusing to go so long ever again... Now I am down to two days a week - I still have limited kidney function and do urinate regularly...
