I'm re-adjusting my dry weight again down to what will give me more allowance in-between sessions

It is a never-ending adjustment work if both me and my nurses are countering each other to come-up with my weight which I am comfortable with.

I will be re-adjusting my dry weight again after a couple of hypotension bouts which lead to me coming home still waterlogged. That is why I had a series of dialysis sessions where I have to adjust my dry-weight back to heavier weights which are just half a liter in volume, so now I will adjust that to be at least 300mL which are not much but very significant for me because any additional 100mL of over my dry weight counts for keeping my well-being or comfort level in-between my treatment sessions because I only have so much physical capacity until I feel so much bloated that it really affects my breathing so much as if my lungs are somewhat drowning, plus that feeling full all the time is affecting my sleep already as well.

Every once of fluids that I would take counts because it will mean my comfort or discomfort until the next treatment session.

But at least I am completing my treatment sessions which is important so that I can be cleaned-up almost sufficiently and also to not interfere with what dry weight that I am targeting at that moment. Hypotension events really messes my rhythm on managing my weight because I am easily set-back to get an additional backlog which is hard to get out from my body because of the limitations of drawing fluids out from my body by my nurses. That is why I cannot get so liberal in consuming beverages which should not be the case of not for my backbone collapse which effectively physically limiting my capacity to drink regular amounts of fluids just like in the past. But anyway it is not recommended to consume large amounts of fluids as said by the professionals but in my personal opinion it is only limited to those patients which are getting a quality dialysis except from patients with already existing heart complications. But anyway I will still have to carefully manage my dry weight because it means my overall quality of life even though it is a hard thing to do and be on that management all the time.

I have to abide by my limitations or else I will be sorry, even my frequent dialysis sessions now doesn't completely give me the fluid consummation liberty.
