Hi, JBS!

 :welcomesign;

Attitude is everything!  :flower;

I'm hoping that you will start feeling the benefits of dialysis. If you are REALLY wiped out, they may be drawing off too much fluid. That is not unusual for PKD patients since you probably still have some function so aren't building up as much fluid.

Try talking with them about not removing so much fluid to see if it helps you feel better!  :2thumbsup;
