I hate the cooler weather months mainly because I get so breathless as the cooler weather doesn't allow me to perspire much and because I am always full with extra fluids in my system any fluids that I would intake just counts in every drop so I get waterlogged fast and just makes me breathless or that matter.
Now that I am able to tell how much fluids that my nurses are taking out from my body I was able to get my dry weight down finally which gives me more allowance in drinking fluids.
Also the nurses are not much fiddling around the dialysis machine, they are no longer pumping my body some sodium which is their one way of raising the blood pressure once my BP hits the 120 Systolic level. They are not doing anything anymore after I am hooked-up at my dialysis unlike before.
So there is no more extra sodium or salt is entering my body anymore which is why after dialysis I am not much thirsty. It is an awesome turnaround about my dialysis treatment because if I am no longer thirsty like always after dialysis I can get more thrifty in consuming fluids which just means that I will not get into a point that I am like fish out of water.
I must say that I am in a better disposition now after I was able to control how much fluids would be taken out from my body so because of that I welcome the cold weather now after many years of disliking it because of the effects of it in my well-being.
I am glad that I just stepped-out from my comfort zone and told the nurses what I wanted. It has been so long that they were unable to grant my wishes to solve my breathlessness issues that is just affecting me everyday. But I just have to conform with my head nurse's own condition that they will terminate my dialysis treatment if my BP would crash.
But because I have some tricks in my sleeve my BP remained relatively stable considering that I am able to lower my body weight into a more comfortable level for me. It is all good now although of course it is still hard because of the pain issues that I have to contend with. Thanks be to God.
