What is the difference between “normal” tired and dialysis tired?

2 Replies

I have heard that you get tired and weak after dialysis so I’m asking if the tired I am feeling is a tired after dialysis or am I just normally tired?

I hope that made sense

Dialysis for many of us, though not all, has left me weak to the point that I needed a wheelchair to leave after each session. Feeling like a jellyfish is common where you just want to lie still or sleep afterwards for a few hours. Everyone is different. My reactions may be worse than others. Nausea is a constant challenge as well. Talk about this with your Nephrologist and RN and other patients at your clinic.
