Hundreds of thousands of dialysis patients here in my country is rejoicing as if they are walking on clouds because this quite unbelievable benefits given by our government health insurance system (Philhealth) because it alleviated the burden of taking our money from every dialysis patient's pockets whenever they would go for their dialysis treatments considering that we all need more dialysis treatments per week.
If you would ask me, if it not so inconvenient for me, I would like to go for my dialysis treatment every other day simply because getting cleaned with my blood gives me a great ease for my breathing and it makes me feel that glorious appetite enhancement after my blood gets lowered with its urea and nitrogen compound waste products. It is because as soon as dialysis stops, those by-products of normal protein processing of the body.
I already feel the effects of additional toxins building-up in my body after a meal which is why I wanted to have more frequent dialysis sessions. If only a week is composed of eight days, then I might go for every other day dialysis treatment session but there will always be Sunday which is a rest day for many people around the world particularly in dialysis clinics.
So after being treated at Fridays, it seems to be a long, long wait until I get dialyzed again on Monday. It is a big deal for me because I am only limited to be drawn-out of three Kg of extra fluids and I must not exceed that otherwise the extra backlog which was left will reduce my fluid allowance until the next dialysis treatment session. If that happens I will have to restrict my fluid intake because if I don't I will have a problem of getting rid of my fluid backlog and it will give me trouble about my total well-being as it would give me problems for my breathing.
Some people say that if you will have more frequent dialysis sessions then you will get more liberal about your food and fluid consumption. It is not true at all because I and all of other dialysis patients must mind all of what food and the amount of fluids that we intake so that imbalances in our blood and body functions will not happen because it will have a long-term effects against our bodies which will lead to other health issues just like what happened to my bones.
Well in my case it caused by poverty because my condition was left unchecked due to my need to prioritize of getting dialysis only. I was also not made aware of the bone disease implications of my condition so I never did a strict diet and so I paid the price for it. What I am doing now is just to manage my condition particularly about my bones so that I will not go back to my former condition of having a lingering pain. Thanks be to God that I am over it and that I achieved the best possible condition that I can do for my bones and still hoping to get more improvements for the overall balance in my body.
Now with the easement from financial burden brought by government officials in tandem with the group of hospital owners and Nephrology doctors to benefit dialysis patients in particular here in my country, we are all made happy because dialysis patients will only have to worry about getting to their dialysis clinics from now on because our UHC is shouldering all of our expenses. In effect, it will also make Nephrologist to better see the conditions of their patients because laboratory tests are now also free of charge and of course the well-being of patients will get more improvement because the Nephrologist can take the mode of action for individual dialysis patient's needs.
The money that I would supposed to be allocating for my dialyzer payments will now be used for my other and parent's needs like fruits, vegetables, and our important supplements. Although the benefits from our government health insurance came too little too late for me because of my struggles and hardships that I went through both financially and physically for being a long-term dialysis patient, of course I am overly thankful because the worst is over and now me and my family can breathe a sigh of relief along with hundreds of thousands of dialysis patients and their families, thanks a million to God and to God be the glory, Amen.
