Feeling like crap after dialysis

I'm 18 and I've been on dialysis since April. After every dialysis treatment I feel like crap the entire day. Doctors and the internet say I should feel better after dialysis but I don't. Does anyone know why that is?

How long without dialysis

I'm on hemo dialysis and I only go twice a week. I want to take it down to once a week. How long have you been able to go without dialysis? Also what should I look for as signs of being off to long?

Dialysis and/or Donor's List

But they did say they would take into consideration dialysis. So if dialysis comes in the near future they would take me earlier. They would rather you not be on dialysis before hand. So I'm trying to educate myself the best I can, and I would love to hear others opinions on this.

He had a home visit from his Renal Nurse to begin the conversation about dialysis. I would be interested to know of any publications which use easy language to describe/explain to him the process of preparing for and receiving dialysis.

Cancer treatment with dialysis

The recommendation is that he has Keytruda immune therapy every three weeks, how will this work with dialysis, won’t it be removed by the dialysis.

Dialysis with type 1 diabetes: what does it mean for life expectancy?

I was wondering what it will mean for a family member who will start dialysis and has type 1 diabetes. Is life expectancy significantly shorter for him than for people without diabetes?
