Caring for others with chronic illnesses

[Cally]

Hi Sara,
Did you find out what caused the bad reaction to Mr M's dialysis yet ?? Do hope things will settle down for him....and you. It must be a big worry. In my thoughts and prayers

                                                         ((((((Sara & Mr  M))))))

Apparently the reaction (sickness, faintness and headache) is quite common. It's such an invasion the body can take time to adjust - up to a month. So it's a relief to know it's normal (they had mentioned headaches), and yesterday it wasn't so severe and he ate a normal meal in the evening. Thanks (((both Sues)))

Glad to hear that, Sara.I have been up in Cambridge with daughter Caroline who is due to give birth any day now, but I have been keeping a forum eye by using my Kindle, so I had stopped worrying about Mr M just a little. The Kindle has an on screen keyboard, which I hate as it doesn't work very well with a full set of gel nails.   I can use it, but it is  very slow so it is nice to be home however temporarily and to have my laptop to speak to everyone properly.
I may have to shoot back up to Cambridge at any time, so I am doing my washing and preparing to return as soon as I get the call.

Hi Sara,

Good news to know that the reaction to this type of dialysis is sometimes expected. Just a case of waiting it out now.
Hope the reaction passes quickly. Take care....both of you .
