What makes me so very sleepy after home hemodialysis?

Why have my legs become very soft since dialysis? I can't walk.

Have you had your iron levels checked Wrestler? I started haemodialysis in the hospital a couple of months ago. Turns out I was severely anaemic. My consultant never bothered addressing this issue, until I started dialysis. I am based in Scotland and every Tuesday, we get an iron infusion. I felt exhausted before the infusions started working. Also you are losing protein during dialysis. Perhaps have a protein based food after you finish your session? Hope things improve.

Not what you're looking for?
