I came home after another successful dialysis and I couldn't be much more thankful because at least I was able to finish it without much fuss although I went home a bit heavier than expected, about 300 grams more but I did ate a lot today without struggling to finish off my dialysis meal because I was able to finish about three cups of rice.
I am just grateful to the convenience store staff that knows my mother as she gives me extra pork pieces plus some extra gravy on my rice bowl meal because my meal is the only thing that I am excited about my life as a dialysis patient, it makes my dialysis a bit more exciting now than ever. As shallow as it sounds but it is just important to me as I do not get to enjoy foods but only at dialysis.
That rice bowl meal is not that really delicious (or maybe it is) and it is just I get to be hungry while I am hooked-up because dialysis process just takes out the nutrients that the body needs including blood sugar and protein compounds. So when it gets low the dialysis patient gets hungry. Not all dialysis patient eats during session, some chose not to because of their reasons but me I just have to because it is the only moment that I can enjoy eating food.
"Metoclopramide is used to treat the symptoms of slow stomach emptying (gastroparesis) in patients with diabetes. It works by increasing the movements or contractions of the stomach and intestines. It relieves symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, a feeling of fullness after meals, and loss of appetite."
Now we also stopped at the pharmacy to buy my anti-nausea medication and I wasn't able to have thought about this medicine only until recently as I was contemplating about the the solution about my nausea and maybe it might also alleviate my appetiteloss as indicated by that medicine.
It has to be taken about thirty minutes before eating so I will just try if it would make a difference about what I am experiencing for so many moths now it is just ridiculous that I am able to last this kind of punishment that even criminals doesn't deserve to experience.
I just hope that I would benefit from this medicine because I needed all the relief that I can get as this condition of mine had been a plague for me all these past couple of years and it is just sad that I was the one that have to find for myself the solution about this nausea and appetiteloss of mine although I am still not so sure if it would make much difference but i am hoping about it.
So the plan now is that everytime I would eat I will have to take Metoclopramide about thirty minutes before my meal. So my meal must be planned ahead of time and gone are the days where I can just eat whenever I wanted but that is okay too if the result would be my better well-being.
