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

After the 1st full week of dialysis plus delays & glitches, I got home on time yesterday, gobbled down some pasta then slept from 4:30 to 8 PM, got up briefly then went back to bed and slept until 3:30 AM. Dialysis really takes it out of you. Literally.
Still trembly this morning and still have dry heaves every day but not as exhausted and looking forward to having a bit more energy today.
This is a good day to live!

@kamama94 I am sorry for how awful that must be. I am praying you feel better today.
@kamama94 Loving your indomitable [sp?] spirit! Bet the techs do, too. They like when someone wants to know, wants to be active in their own care and journey.
Would a tincture of belladonna help the dry heaves? Or Hylands belladonna pills? I keep some on hand for days that I am feeling "punky", and use to give my racehorses a drop or two after a stressful race, or shipping by truck. It is a good perk-you-up natural support.
Rest this weekend, except you'll tell us "there is much to do!"

@kamama84, and also a good day to be hearing from you! Rest must be one of the best of medicines after a dialysis treatment. So glad you are getting both rest and sleep.
No idea if this could help the dry heaves but would taking some ginger help? It stopped a period of prolonged nausea for me..when I Knew I wasn't pregnant! vbg. Have also heard that marijuana derivative, CBD, may help?
