It’s 3:38 am and I didn’t sleep at all last night/this morning. I also did not talk a nap all day yesterday since I was busy will work calls. I’m not quite sure what the problem is this time. Breathing was a bit more difficult lying down so my fluid balance is off again? Whatever the cause, I’m really tired from not sleeping well for the past two days.
I read somewhere that peripheral neuropathy was affected by fluids, and dehydration will cause the numbness to get worse. Maybe my new lower dry weight has something to do with increased numbness. Last night, I actually tried to go to sleep at around 9:00 pm since my right foot was experiencing neuropathy pain attacks. I even took some Tylenol PM to try and get some sleep but the constant numbness kept me awake until now. Fortunately, the pain attacks went away so I don’t have to deal with that during dialysis.
Since I have to get up in 45 minutes anyway, it’s pointless to try and fall asleep so I guess I’ll just stay up and prepare for dialysis.
