RE: I don't know if I want to drink coffee at dialysis because It gives me a problem sleeping afterwards
How about drinking coffee that isn't that strong? I always have a hard time believing that people cannot sleep at night after drinking coffee or a cup in the afternoon. My body must work differently since I makes me fall asleep. I do believe that in many cases, people like to think the coffee gives them an adrenaline kick but I learned that coffee activates the situation you are in. That is the reason it is added to paracetamol a useless painkiller to make that med work stronger (not that I know one single person who confirms it works).
it is hard to tell you what to drink.
I never drink lemonade, soda, or alcohol. Most of the time it's some sort of tea or just boiled water. I also never drink a glass of milk and juice only on rare occasions.
My body is different because of a failed excretory system and then I am not addicted to coffee anymore unlike in the old times where I get headaches if I would miss a cup a day where I usually drink at least three when I was younger or more if I would be doing something late at night.
However I did noticed that I will sleep better if I would abstain from it which I did before until I thought that something was missing on my life really considering that I was able to get "unaddicted" from caffeine years ago and I noticed that without coffee in my system improved my sleep!
I only resumed drinking again because it wakes us up instantly, like from feeling groggy right after sleeping to full happiness again, I liked that particular feeling which is why maybe I am in a cheery disposition all the time to the point that one of mu high school friends coined my as "Smiley" because he said that he never saw me not smiling when he sees me but not the lingering wakefulness it is doing unto me. I might as well kick the habit for the sake of my quality if sleep.
Anyway, I do not know what to really eat and drink anymore myself. The foods prepared are not tasty, I have a poor appetite and even if I do I can't eat normal amounts of foods because I will feel sick.
I did ate and drank a thinned-out coffee during my treatment session today and to my surprise my blood pressure crashed again. But I might again adjust my dry weight to a heavier level because I felt that the usual target which I was aiming for cannot be reached now. It could be a good news, it means that I am gaining weight. Miss @wakeupkitty

That's more than a just a smile on the photo. It's as if you see something very funny. So you were a coffee addict at that age?
I remember I drank black coffee, mugs at the age of 15, but it never woke me up, made me feel good or kept me awake. I guess my body works different,ly too or my mind doesn't fall for whatever I take.
I also can't say that the food tastes great which makes me hardly eat except for for certain cheese. I would like to eat more fruit (hard to find) and once it is warmer, I like to eat yoghurt.
I hope the dialysis will be better, without any crashes. Y,o gaining weight is indeed positive.
A big hug to you!

I am just happy that day as we will going to ride a bus for our field trip and then visit a hot spring resort in that same field trip considering that I never had any experience going to such places (swimming pools/beaches) because our family never had a vacation. But anyway I am always in a cheery disposition in my younger years, even now, the only difference is I grunt and groan as an addition.
And yeah I can say that I got addicted to coffee, it is an instant coffee by the way and there is no way I can skip a cup because headaches will happen. That sensation in the head when you get a caffeine fix for the headache as a sign of withdrawal symptom when you forgot to have a cup is none like other.
I remember scalding my palate because I have sip as much as I can because my body is already crying for it but afterwards, the relief is so relaxing.
I think that I can never take coffee off from my life simply because it does perk my brain and often elevates my mood compared not consuming it at all, however I am not drinking as much like I used to be because it disturbs my sleep.
Sometimes I would finish the treatment session and sometimes I don't, because of hypotension. I am frustrated because of it which is why I have to adjust for the next session because the extra fluids that will not get removed will be added to my body for the next session.
Adjusting my weight to a higher level is tricky, if I will overdo it, my heart will get over burdened by the extra volume and it will make it in the long run, beat sluggish and I don't want that to happen. If I will target a lower weight, hypotension will always happen. I am only adjusting my weight by the "feel" of it, so it is always a trial and error work which is in itself a hard thing for me to manage. I have to really get on top of it always for me to avoid further complications which could get me a diploma for leaving this world sooner than I want it to get delivered. Hope in my heart will never go away for as long as God is in my life and I am still alive.
Thanks you as always Miss @wakeupkitty.pal @wakeupkitty for all your selfless kindness and empathy, I appreciate it all, may God bless you and your loved ones always. 😀👍🌹🌹🌹🧡🧡🧡

Already monitoring your body is a full-time job.
Can be what you feel if you drink coffee is the widening of the bloodvessels which is a side effect and also helps to fight pain.
A happy day friend
