Dear Diary: My Way Of Eating Good For Dialysis

I only had some hard biscuit crackers this morning because I do not want to be satiated before dialysis because I wanted to eat well during when I am hooked up. It is because during dialysis I only have a small window of opportunity to feel normal with a good appetite.

The dialysis makes me feel much at ease and it is hard to explain. It freshens up my breath similar to what I would likened to a chlorinated water from being ammonia-smelling breath. I had a profound ammonia breath during I was just a new dialysis patient and it went for years until I had used the high-flux dialyzer that I am using today and it makes a big difference in my well-being.

To put it simply, a high flux dialyzer cleans better and it gives me my appetite back, unlike a normal dialyzer would where I can't feel that I am hungry plus I also feel that my blood goes dirtier faster than if I would use the high flux type. This is my way of telling other patients that they needed a dialyzer that I use because it makes them well more days than if they would use a finer meshed dialyzer.

My appetite is the only thing that I enjoy in my condition currently so when it returns to me during dialysis I grab the opportunity to really eat because tomorrow it will not be like it anymore.

Maybe soon I will regain my appetite back like a normal person and I am hopeful that I would because if my parathyroid goes into its normal levels I will just maybe take a minimal dose of medicine or probably I will just have to control my phosphorus levels down so that it won't trigger my parathyroid to pump its bone-decaying hormones to my system anymore.

I have the grace of God like steemit to help me and I think my journey is easier with my friends here with their support for my goals, it gives me hope and a peace of mind despite it is awfully hard but I am determined to finish it all with a triumph.
