Q. What does it feel like to be on dialysis?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
It's hard to describe what it feels like to be on dialysis, because it varies from person to person. Some people find it uncomfortable or even painful, while others find it relatively easy to tolerate.
Generally speaking, dialysis treatments tend to be fairly tiring and can leave you feeling drained both physically and emotionally. Many people also report feeling a sense of isolation, since they often have to go for treatment at a special facility away from home.
