Don't Let The Flu Get You

julius s. posted an article on - Aug 7, 2010, 3:21 am
Don’t let the flu get you. This is my mantra whenever the rainy season sets in. Influenza or the flu is more rampant during this season and being a dialysis patient puts me in a much higher risk of contracting the virus. People with kidney failure have weak immune systems, so theref...

It’s raining again outside our house and it just seem like a good time to make a post about it, and reminisce my past experience about the rainy days here in the Philippines. Tropical storms or Typhoons are common occurrences here. When the season sets in, nobody could predict the effects it w...

I have experienced so many things all that time, have seen fellow patients come and go , but still I’m at it up until now. A friend once asked me if I ever get tired of dialysis? Of course I do. ...

Heat Reprieve

The past few months has been difficult for me as a dialysis patient, simply because I’m having a hard time tolerating the excessive heat brought by the El Niño Phenomenon.

El Niño – Maximum Tolerance for Dialysis Patients

julius s. posted an article on - Apr 20, 2010, 1:50 am
In a few hours I’ll be off to my dialysis treatment. I’m already planning in advance how I would conduct my travel from our house in Manila, to the clinic in Quezon City. It’s only about 30 minutes away from our home, that’s if you have your own car, which I don’t. I take public transports...

It’s been quite some time now since the last time I’ve posted on this blog. My last post, Blogging Again, is somewhat of a filler, and is actually not what you may call “article”. I may be accused of neglect. Well, I might have, and might have not. I have been busy with my dialysis treatment...

Hepatitis and Dialysis Patients

julius s. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
The Pinoy’s common conception of getting infected with Hepatitis is eating street foods that are unsanitary. On occasions, you would sometimes overhear somebody jokingly pointing out that you’d get the Hepatitis Virus with the food you just bought from the street, free of charge. “...

The previous onslaught of Tropical Storm Ondoy last Saturday, September 26 left people here in Metro Manila stunned and grieving.
