Dear Diary: My Body Is Already Heavy With Fluids

When my body starts to get waterlogged or get get heavy with water things get ugly in the way I feel inside and sometimes I get headaches but I thank God that I do not get headaches anymore because of my normal hemoglobin levels as it is the number one cause of headaches for me, the low hemoglobin in my blood.

I also get so breathless even at rest so what more if I start to move around but today I am relatively fortunate enough not to get so breathless so I am also thankful for that and I also cannot really control my fluid intake because of the bitter aftertaste caused by my parathyroid medication.

I already know what is the cause of my bitter aftertaste and that is when I take my medicine lying down, the same effect with other medicines and right now I forgot to take it sitting up because it is also hard to sit up too and now I can feel that awful taste in my mouth already which will last for many hours.

I am just flushing and washing my mouth with a fruit juice and I drink some from time to time just to alleviate my mouth discomfort. But right now I am also not feeling good because of being waterlogged but I can manage until my dialysis tomorrow in the late afternoon.
