The Dream I Had

I do not like sleeping alone. If I had to, the light has to be on the whole night through. Being alone scares me. I couldn't sleep well, and if i did manage to sleep, I get nightmares. So i slip in and out of consciousness as I try my hardest to wake myself up everytime the dreams get scary. And my heart beats so fast that I sometimes think that maybe I would die of nightmare, which makes me dread sleeping alone more.

Last night the dream was different from the usual scary dreams, dreams about the other beings. Last night I dreamt I was dying, not in an HD day way, in a hard-to-breathe kind of way, but more like my time is up and I had to close my eyes and wait for my soul to separate from my body. So during my last moments, I was saying I Love You to my mom, it was just my mom and the nurses and Dr. G. To help me with my transition, Dr. G gave me a sleeping pill, it was a big pill I need to swallow so I will just drift to my death and all the while I was waiting for the medicine to effect, I was telling mom over and over again that I love her. 

Then I woke up. And til now I am disturbed by it.


Human Heart Nature for Dialysis Patients

I have been using HHN Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner for over a month now and my friends and family have noticed my hair is fuller and shinier, a far cry from the limp, dry and falling hair normal for dialysis patients. Yes, I am a hemodialysis (HD) patient for over 2 years now and I am glad I have found HHN products to help me combat the effects of hemodialysis.

Before I only use a certain brand of shampoo to avoid having dandruffs but HHN's strengthening shampoo and conditioner won me over with its anti-dandruff properties. This is the first shampoo other than the one I was used to that can address my dandruff issues.

I also use the Sunflower Beauty Oil as body moisturizer and I have to say, it's the best product I have had so far for my uber-dry and itchy skin. Also, I am quite surprised and amazed how it also doubles as deodorant and doesn't smell even after 24 hours of application. The beauty oil really delivers what it promises.

My only complain is the Body Butter (Mango). It's smells so good enough to eat, so good that fruitflies hover around me whenever I am out of the house waiting for the bus which I find a little annoying.

I still have yet to try the other products but for the ones I have used, I recommend it to other Dialysis patients out there who are having skin and hair problems.
