My Plan To Feel My Best on Dialysis
Create a plan to stay active, stay connected, and manage your treatment to feel your best.
Dialysis doesn’t mean you have to stop working or taking part in activities. Your time on dialysis can be a great opportunity to catch up on things you’ve been wanting to do.
Get things done.
Pay your bills, shop online, or check a few things off your to-do list.
Meet new people at the dialysis center.
Connect with others on dialysis to share experiences and support each other.
Learn something new.
Read a book, listen to a podcast, watch a video, or take a class online.
Blog or journal about your experience.
Writing can help you work through your feelings and share your thoughts with others.
Sit back and relax.
Enjoy your favorite music or inspirational program.
