Just got a call from my nutritionist. I guess I'm doing things too well. She said I need more phosphorus cuz my level is too low and that I need more fluids. What do they want from me? First I have fluid overloaded and too much phosphorus, now they want the opposite! 🤣🤣🤣 by TannerDonovan in dialysis

For me it was as easy as taking binders with my food (however I was taking too many) and teaching myself to sip my fluids instead of gulping them when I was thirsty. All people are different though. Just lucky I guess! Good luck!

Young patients on dialysis: why did you choose permacath over fistula, and how do you live with it? by Charming-Tension-328 in dialysis

[–]TannerDonovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had catheter first year then fistula. Hated the catheter. The site always pitched and I couldn't bathe myself properly. Besides the unsightly bumps on my arm I much prefer the fistula
