Title: Legs feel weird
Post by: balapandian on December 26, 2012, 10:48:52 PM

I'm doing dialysis for the past 7 months on a weekly thrice shift. For the past 2 weeks my legs feel weird on the day of dialysis, feel like rubber, lot of muscle weakness, couldn't walk properly, what could be the reason?
has anyone had such experience?

Any meds. That could account for this.  Nerontin (gabapentin) can do this to me although it is not linked to dialysis, or I don't think so.
