Dialysis headaches suck, don't they.  The only way I have found to get rid of them is a good night's sleep.

Believe it or not, we found that a cup of coffee at the end of the treatment pushed the headache away in fast order for Sharon, has not had a problem now for over a year......

I have never had a headache during or after dialysis. I think it's just another result of clean living.
