Feeling weak and tired after dialysis is a common experience for many individuals undergoing dialysis treatment. Here are some possible reasons and suggestions to help alleviate fatigue:

Reasons:

1. _Fluid removal_: Rapid fluid removal during dialysis can lead to a temporary drop in blood pressure, causing fatigue.
2. _Electrolyte imbalance_: Changes in electrolyte levels, such as potassium and calcium, can affect muscle strength and energy.
3. _Blood sugar changes_: Fluctuations in blood sugar levels during dialysis can cause fatigue.
4. _Medications_: Certain medications used during dialysis, like heparin, can contribute to fatigue.
5. _Underlying medical conditions_: Co-existing medical conditions, such as anemia, heart disease, or chronic inflammation, can exacerbate fatigue.

Suggestions:

1. _Gradual fluid removal_: Ask your dialysis team to adjust the fluid removal rate to a slower pace.
2. _Electrolyte management_: Monitor and manage electrolyte levels to maintain a healthy balance.
3. _Blood sugar control_: Work with your healthcare team to regulate blood sugar levels.
4. _Medication adjustments_: Discuss medication options with your doctor to minimize fatigue-inducing side effects.
5. _Rest and relaxation_: Prioritize rest and relaxation after dialysis, avoiding strenuous activities.
6. _Exercise and physical activity_: Engage in gentle exercises, like yoga or walking, to improve energy levels and overall health.
7. _Nutritional support_: Focus on a balanced diet, including iron-rich foods, to address potential anemia.
8. _Consider iron supplements_: If anemia is present, iron supplements may help alleviate fatigue.
9. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your fatigue with your doctor or dialysis team to adjust your treatment plan and address underlying conditions.

Remember to communicate openly with your healthcare team to identify the root cause of your fatigue and develop a personalized plan to manage it.

As some of you know I have diverted a little as a fashion creative. I'm currently looking at leather products, and my current focus is on shoes. Earlier this year, I entered the Real Leather Stay Different Africa Competition, and I was chosen as the sole Zimbabwean designer to represent my nation.

Please help bring the Prize to Zimbabwe by voting and liking my entry.

Good day. I'm asking for your votes. I've been selected to represent Zimbabwe in an all-Africa design competition.

Your vote will mean a lot to me and assist Hoist Zimbabwe's flag on a regional and international scale.

Thank you in advance!

Amaluba/Maruva @4141. This creation is inspired by the adaptability of nature and my grandmother’s garden inventiveness. She frequently plants flowers and succulents in and on driftwood. My design features leather and wood. The shoe is mainly made out of leather and embellished with 3D flowers. To...

Today marks 4 years since Dr Rumbi Dahwa confirmed my diagnosis of End Stage Renal Disease(ESRD). In the first year I had people saying and telling me that this was my death sentence, I was certified useless and dying to the point of believing it. I really didn't see myself living to 2024 until I snapped and became delulu about life.

I'm grateful for today and how my perspective of life has changed.

Here's to me , THE NEPHRO WARRIOR, living kusvika zana.

I have been celebrating World Kidney Day since I was diagnosed in April of 2020. My amount of excitement for the day has varied from prior years. It’s not that I get enthusiastic about renal failure per se, it’s more about the optimism and perseverance that I have had in me. Unfortunately, not this year.

As some of you are aware, I have taken to calling myself the NEPHRO WARRIOR when talking about my renal journey on and off social media since I see myself as such. I have been fighting for little victories and relishing in my modest successes. I started sharing this for the benefit of my fellow warriors with chronic illnesses and for my mental health.
My sincere goal was to encourage someone to hold onto hope and make every effort to live a normal life. I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback about what people see as strength, through both public and private messaging. I received a lovely and uplifting note the other day from a young woman I had never met or spoken to before. Her message “attempted” to urge me to get up and dust myself off, ngazama kwehlula bakithi 😕

As I lay in bed, fighting insomnia and five million thoughts, I asked myself if I should be the Strong Nephro Warrior for the people my tale has apparently inspired or be true to myself?
Nuh babes!!!
Warriors get wounded too and I cannot mask my truth. It’s been a minute since I last felt alright, PSMAS ZIMBABWE has let me and others down. I have missed a few dialysis sessions, since February 9th, when my dialysis sessions invoice was submitted and is yet to be paid, which is negatively affecting my physical and mental well-being. 😢

This year’s theme is Kidney Health for All-Advancing equitable access to care and optimal medication practice. Is this so for Zimbabwe? NO!!!

Ps: Get regular renal function tests & don’t be like Mpume...

I’m out

My fellow dialysis patients and I have been waiting for so long for PSMAS Zimbabwe for award us the dignity of getting 1 dialysis session zvayo. For some of us they haven't paid the dialysis centers so we can't get treatment.
For others they're being asked to source their own consumables. There's no winning for the afflicted...
