So after a year, have these issues resolved themselves? Has it become a routine in your life? Do you have days with full energy?

yes i was actively looking for a transplant and after all d procedures got one from my mother. but during dialysis u need to eat something to keep ur bp from dropping,control your water intake, avoid oily food.. yes i did have bad days but u need to involve yourself in some or the other routine activity. keep urself buzy
