I was able to talk to my Nephrologist but it yielded no results for my dialysis dose
My blood's current hemoglobin level.
Lat Monday morning as I was rolled into the dialysis treatment room, my Nephrologist was already there sitting in front of me which was the nurse's station. After I sat she looked at me with a cheery smile and asked me if how I am doing, I automatically said that I am OK and then she looked down to her smartphone and I remembered that I really have to tell her that I am nauseated all the time because my creatinine levels is always high.
Prior to that, I told her that I was taking sodium bicarbonate everyday at three tablets every four hours after my meals and that it had improved my breathing. But I forgot to tell her that it had resulted in taking away the high altitude sickness symptoms except the headache which I did not experience because headaches is part of the high altitude sickness symptoms.
However I did told her that the gurgling sound in my lungs went away as well. She was surprised that taking sodium bicarbonate had a good effect on me but with regards to having a high creatinine levels in my blood, she just told me not to worry about it because I am getting dialysis anyway which she thinks that is what is important considering that I told her that I was nauseated all the time and need a better cleaning or dialysis dose which is the intensity of cleaning factor to my blood.
She is more concerned about my body mass so she just prescribed that I take appetite stimulant which I am still contemplating to buy because it has a sleepy effect on me and I really do not want to get sleepy all the time regardless that it will increase my appetite. However I might try to purchase it soon and see the results, I am hoping that it will work because I am not anorexic anymore like when I was suffering from acidosis which gave me the high-altitude sickness symptoms before.
Then my Nephrologist referred me to the Hematologist to have my blood's Hemoglobin levels checked because I was told that it was too high where I got 171 from the 180 limit. It was high even for normal people with only smokers getting that high level because they always inhale carbon dioxide which activates their system to produce more red blood cells. That is why smokers have a reddish glow with their skins.
My doctor asked me if I feel a particular symptom regarding it and I said that I am not feeling anything about it. I don't know but I am still not sure if either I am getting an accurate result regarding my hemoglobin levels or it is really bad for me because it is still within the normal range. I am not sure if I will go to the Hematologist because I might get prescribed with medicines which might make me sick not to mention the additional cost that the whole thing which it will incur to my pockets so I will just hang it and just purchase the prescribed appetite enhancer just to only see if it will do me better although I know that a better blood cleaning already provides me a boost on my appetite.

You know, there are levels and levels and it isn't said the 171 is bad for you.
It's not different from bady temp and blood pressure.
Many patients (I rather call them clients) "forget" what they wanted to ask. With us they always say to take someone along since two hear more than one and the doctor easily ignores one's questions or is focuses on on aspect. Also a good option is to write down everything you want to ask.
BTW if it comes to isomnia this isn't abnormal but will get worse if you keep focusing on the fact you cannot sleep.

Thank you for your suggestion, I might as well write down thing which I wanted to ask or say to my Nephrologist but she is believing for example, that I should ignore my creatinine levels since I am being getting dialysis treatments, but I forgot to tell her in a witty note that I was ignoring it for many years now but I can feel it.
Most of the time I do have a problem about expressing myself and is often misinterpreted for what I want to convey. Anxiety also would kick-in even if I was conversing with a friend, I will start to stutter and tremble and feel all that anxiety attack symptoms after a few minutes symptoms even though I am aware or want to control it, I can't and the only way I can get a relief is to go away from a situation or conversation.
Anyway, if I would nap at noon, I can never sleep at night and might be able to sleep again at around 3:00 AM, it could be ok if I can continue sleeping for the rest of the morning but it will be the time that the road near my room will be busy again and is one big factor for waking me up everytime I would be sleeping. But I still have to tone down my caffeine intake even though I am not drinking that much. Miss @wakeupkitty, thank you for your suggestions. 😀👍🌹🌹🌹

Writing down is the only solution abd shebshould read. You can say: stop, please! Or lift your hand to make her stop.
I know it's hard to talknand express yourself if anxiety kicks in but look at you. Look at all you achieved! How far you came.
So use these tricks and if needed you write, text or let your mom do it.
You are the best specialist and know how you feel and what is best for you. I find it kind of dumb to state there's no need to pay attention because the machine will take care of it, which is clearly not the case.
I send you a big hug. I read you soon again.
