cramps and dialysis

Hi just looking for some advice so I know i'm not on my own. I am at stage 5 staring haemodiaysis next week. I am on the list for a SPK transplant. My consultant has put me on water tablets, I am having severe cramps in my hands and feet today it has been pretty constant. Is it due to the CKD, water tablets a bit of both or something totally different. Any advice or information would be gladly received. Also is anyone able to claim any benefits as I am not well enough to work at the moment. Going downhill quite quickly

TIA Lou xx
