Otto say's he feels like he has one foot in the grave. He just stated so kinks need to be worked out but for now he feels like crap and don't get him started on the cramps that kept him up last night.

Well, things have certainly changed for me.  After dialysis, I no longer feel tired and lethargic.  In fact, now that I have my part time job, I leave dialysis just after 4pm and drive for ½ hour to my job at the airport which starts at 5pm and I am there until 10.30 p.m.
I am finding though that the evening and morning before dialysis, if I exert myself a lot, I start to feel as I felt the months before I first started dialysis.

I usually feel fine.  Rarely do I feel washed out.

Like many others here, I feel exhausted.  Luckily, my girlfriend currently works at an urgent care lab starting at 4 pm, and I get home from dialysis at about 3:30 pm.  So I can take a nap as she leaves for work, and wake up around the time she gets home.

 I usually have a headace during and after my treatment. Cramping is also a huge issue. I thought I felt bad before I started hemo. I'm exhausted after my treatment but I can't sleep. I keep waiting for that " you will feel better after you start dialysis"  moment.
