One of the biggest changes you will have to make when you start hemodialysis treatments is following a strict schedule. Also, adjusting to the effects of kidney failure and the time you spend on dialysis can be hard. You may feel tired after treatments. You may need to make changes in your work or home life, giving up some activities and responsibilities. Keeping the same schedule you had when your kidneys worked can be hard now that your kidneys have failed. Accepting these changes can be hard on you and your family. A mental health counselor or social worker can answer your questions and help you cope
