Dialysis when it’s bloody hot!


Well it’s been interesting around here lately. We’ve had a heatwave here in little old Adelaide, with five days in a row of over 40 degrees celsius. (105 degress Fahrenheit) Night time minimum temperatures of around 30 celsius (86 Fahrenheit) made life even more unbearable!

This makes life interesting as a dialysis patient - whilst you sweat a little more, which means you can drink a little more without completely blowing your fluid limit, you’re still bloody hot all the time, which makes you more thirsty.

I’m not sure whether it’s a good thing or not, but all I can say is I’m glad it’s been a bit cooler yesterday and today
