I'm on 2nd month of dialysis(weekly thrice)  I'm eating eggs, chicken and fish.  but my dry weight 105 pounds always remains the same.  why am I not putting weight as I'm eating lot everyday? where it goes?

Also, I feel tired all the time (Hb = 9 and currently on iron therapy)

It is my utmost dream and desire to reach out to other kidney patients for them to know that they are not alone in this, also to reach out to those who one day have to go on dialysis though my book i am writing!
