Hi everyone, I am familiar with dialysis making people extremely tired, but is it normal to sleep for two days straight after having it? Mark does sleep for two days (yes on a three day schedule) and the day before he has his treatment he is sort of normal, enough to talk coherently for a few hours, and then this cycle starts all over again.
I would say that your doctor knows your hubby's own particular case and all the vagaries involved, so he/she is the best guide for such questions.
Now my mother age 99 is in stage 4 renal failure and the doctors have the bright idea of her being placed on dialysis...the answer is no, not going to happen.
Yes, it does extend ones life, if one can call that living.
