I've been completing my dialysis session lately without any fuss or being lightheaded and all that thanks be to God. It is good that I do not feel any burning thirst anymore and I happen to really pray to God to move my nurses regarding that and what do you know? I had my prayers answered. It is because I had been suffering from that thing they do which is turning that sodium dial up in the hope that it will elevate my blood pressure or at least prevent my blood pressure to crash, But regardless, my blood pressure crashes every whenever my body likes it.

But I am always finding ways for my blood pressure not to crash while hooked-up at dialysis like eating something during my session. It is for the reason to maintain my blood sugar level because the dialysis process quite removes blood sugar from the blood and if the patient's blood sugar foes low during the dialysis session, they experience, well, hypotension or intradialytic hypotension or (IDH) as the nurses calls it.

I only eat a mayonnaise sandwich and I drink water only because drinking carbonated drinks will cause me to burp and it is not easy burping lysing down nor asking my nurses to made me to sit up to just burp because if I will not be able to burp, that gasses on my stomach will again cause me to not feel well and might even most probably cause IDH.

So now because my nurses are not pumping me sodium while hooked-up to the dialysis machine, I will be leaving the clinic not having a burning thirst. So because of it I will not be drinking like a Camel and consequently, will not be bloated or waterlogged and it will be the reason I will arrive during my dialysis lighter and that will prevent me from suffering hypotension. Well of course I will be able to complete my treatment session and it will translate to a better cleaned blood and a better well-being which is always my goal as a dialysis patient. To God is the highest praise and glory, Amen!
