I am slowly reducing my waterlogged body again to remove my eye's puffiness and to feel much at ease
My eyes are always puffy and it just means that I still have extra water weight in my body but I am now trying to target lower dry weight at about 100 mL at a time. I am now at around 34.3 Kg after my treatment session ends and I will maybe stop at around 34 Kg so that my blood pressure would not go crashing down during my dialysis sessions.
For a few weeks I had been completing my dialysis sessions without being so uncomfortable at around the end of treatment time. The treatment time is four hours and based on your discomfort or comfort it will feel long or short enough that you want the session to continue for some more time although most of the time you want it to finish as soon as possible so that you can go home already.
Anyway, it is uncomfortable to have an extra water in your body, there is a pressure inside which wants to get out but for dialysis patients, the pressure will only get a relief after a successful dialysis treatment session. It is not that easy because sometimes depending on the dialysis center, the patients will suffer cramps or burning thirst or both with the latter complication caused by the nurses adjusting the sodium too much on the belief that it will raise the blood pressure because it is the equivalent that you ate salty foods but will only move you to drink more fluid which will make the removal of extra water from your body very hard because you will be bound to quench your burning thirst.
Thanks be to God I have no problem anymore with burning thirst, God answered my prayers on that regard which is why I can easily control my fluid consumption because I do not suffer from burning thirst anymore after and during my dialysis sessions. But the recent blood pressure crashes I had more than a month ago had made my weight heavy with extra water and now I am trying to reduce it so that I can reduce my eye's puffiness which is just an indication of extra water in my body. I will God-willing feel better afterwards if I can reach my target goal maybe after a few sessions if God will it.

How come you no longer feel thirsty?
If my eyes and face are swollen it's in many cases an allergy (at least that's what I think) and it takes days, if not weeks, and a lot of drinking to get the poison out and look "normal" again.
I wish you a great Sunday/week.
Dialysis can either make you feel thirsty or not depending on the sodium setting that the nurses does for their purposes or reasons.
Apparently they lower down the sodium pump setting when I would tell them to remove about less than two liters of fluid from my body. That is why I would not feel thirsty after my session. The opposite happens of I will ask for a heavier fluid removal. It is the reason that I have to really control my fluid consumption which is of course hard to do but I have to, otherwise I will feel sick all the time.
Anyway, I think you needed to take an anti allergy tablet if you do get allergies, it really helps rathe than to feel sick for days or weeks. Once in a while, maybe once a year, I suffer from allergic rhinitis. I would flush my nasal passages with clean warm water with salt, it is an effective way of mechanically flush allergens and it does help.👍
I hope that you also had a great weekend Miss @wakeupkitty
