I Am Just Hit With Caffeine And Now I Am Having Fine Tremors

I will be fine later today, it is just that caffeine is still in my system. This just means that I had a bad dialysis which is why I am using a high flux type of dialyzer which has relatively bigger pores so that more toxins and substances can pass easily through it.

I am paying an extra fee whenever I would replace my dialyzer and it is not cheap, it burns the pockets even though some of it is covered by the health insurance. My health insurance only covers a regular type of dialyzer in which I would not have to pay if it is replaced but if I would replace it with the high flux then I will have to cough out cash.

That is why I would reuse the dialyzer for a month until I reach the month where my health insurance would partially cover my dialyzer. My dialysis center just recently charged the patients that replaces their dialyzer with the high flux type double the amount from the previous $10 dollars in dollar's worth to now $20.

Then we were now charged with double the previous extra bill from $6 dollars to now $12 dollars plus another $4 that my hospital had told us for PPEs that the nurses are using and the cleaning materials such as alcohol or maybe even that Triage area that they had built in front of the dialysis center where the patients and their guardians would have to wait come rain or shine.

Anyway like what I said in my previous blog post and also from the past post regarding my Caffeine use adjustment I really have to reduce my intake prior to my treatment session so that I will not have to suffer much with this disturbance in my sleep issue which is now more of an overdose.

This will resolve itself later in the day but I have to take Gabapentin just to calm my hyper-excited nerves. I am now 24 hours lacking in sleep and it is not good as it will just cause me more harm than good.

The body tremors are weak but I could feel it if I would stay still. I can't force myself to sleep but right now it is a bad idea because it will not happen.

I am also dieting with eating less food because I am not being dialyzed to my expectation anyway and plan my course of action regarding my diet and when to take my phosphate binder and also the amount of protein and sodium that I consume I should also restrict more. It is a hard and complicated thing to manage which I have to manage because part of my priority is to make me feel well in-between dialysis sessions.
