Dialysis Update
Dialysis did go smoothly, however, the machine above 2500 kilos of fluid was taken before the tech and the nurse had to stop the machine to only cleaning the blood. I did not have any fluid to worry about. When taking the Seroquel, I gained some weight within a month, been weaned off the drug then put on Prozac for depression and anxiety. I am about 84 kilos or more at this time. It is getting very frustrating for me! I am very disappointed in my weight gain. I worked hard in 1 ½ years to get the weight off and my weight gain took one month to gain it all back Zfrqnbecause of Seroquel. Also, learning something from my mom has taken me back to how in the world am I going to explain this! My world is messed up.
Today, my BP went below 100/50 today, and I had to take a Midodrine for the higher my BP. While talking to Dr. Anjum today and I got a little dizzy and cramped, and all of a sudden, nauseous for a few minutes. I was given a zolfran tablet for the nausea. Ugh, that was a trip I did not want to take—for sure! I haven’t had nausea for 6 years since I started doing hemodialysis on April 24, 2019!
My weight has changed enough that it is now 82 kilos at this as my goal weight on dialysis chart with Dr. Anjum. I am not leaving Mercy Healthcare at this time — even the idea does not please me.
