During that time, I constantly massage his legs which gives him comfort in a little way... and he sleeps comfortably with that during dialysis... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-34812924646279887442012-12-01T09:51:46.671+05:302012-12-01T09:51:46.671+05:30Charles, it is most likely your dry weight.

Unfortunately, this last September my two-year battle to keep my kidneys functioning came to an abrupt halt. My first several sessions of dialysis were pain free and without incident. Only recently have i experienced "severe" cramping in my calves, shins and upper thighs. My dry weight is 106 kgs, or at least my dialysis clinic seems to think so. I was told watch my fluid, but honestly if i drank any less i would not be ingesting any water at all. My target is 36-48oz's a day which i have been very conscious of. My dialysis technician told me I might have gained body weight and this could be affecting the over perception of how much fluid I need to remove to get to get to my dry weight. Like I mentioned I am very new to all this. I do keep track of how much weight I gain or lose prior and post of each dialysis session, but how do I determine what is water weight gain and just body fat? Does any body here have any suggestions, tips, or ideas please? Most appreciated<br /><br /><br />Best regards to all<br />Charles<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-13665774955426300772012-10-03T01:44:22.324+05:302012-10-03T01:44:22.324+05:30Have you tried Quellitall?

I love it! But if I drink more than half a can a day, I pay for it during dialysis. So my kitchen sink drinks as much of it as I do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
