Dialysis Temperature


Thursday     2014/01/09

Told nurse B to set machine temperature at 36. B said 35.5 for everyone without even looking at my record. 2 hours in, the back of my body – torso and legs start tremor and vibrating, felt miserable. Called nurse C asked bringing temperature up. With much fuss, temp’s up to 36. 

Damage’s done, blood pressure was up to 218 and tremor lasted till the end, albeit alleviated. Stumbled home, feeling extremely light headed like never and lay in bed for the rest of the day.  Took an hour to bring pressure done to 150, and not until 6pm for it to drop to 137.


Actually, the night wasn’t easy either. After dialysis-I mean every single time, my chest and tummy always feel a light tremor kind of thing which run steady on until the next morning.
