Home PD dialysis...not diabetic.

My Husband will be starting PD dialysis in one week...Losing weight..vomiting at night..always feeling cold. No appetite...he is very small framed. Any recommend to vitamins? PLS

Oh I feel for your husband and vomiting and feeling sick is no fun at all and so draining. I was put on metoclopramide 5mg/5mls and this has helped me so much. I use to feel sick every day and struggled to keep anything down for months and this really has made a big different. I have it in liquid form because of allergies to lactose.

The problem is we feel sick we have awful taste in are mouth no appetite but we know we have to try and eat. I have allergies but tend to eat crispbread and rice cakes and then hummus and veggie sticks as can snack on them

Regarding him feeling cold has he had his HB and ferritin checked as I always feel cold when my ferritin is low.

I to am very petite so unable to do PD so will be starting HD at home after Christmas. I hope he starts to feel better soon.

Hi I felt the exact way before I started dialyses,it’s because the toxins are building up in his system once he has dialyses he will feel a bit better,I also agree with celoaffect cannabis and eatables definitly help with appetite, I can help you learn how to make eatables at home🙏

Cannabis will help 100%, try edibles.
