These troubles are likely coming from your underlying conditions and treatments. One prescription is the discuss these symptoms with your healthcare team since they might change your dialysis or medication to make you feel more comfortable. Palliative care, together with also nutrition guidance and medications for nausea and fatigue, can be quite helpful, so should be combined with supportive therapy. Furthermore, ALS patient receives a cancer certificate, so close engagement with his/her oncologist is critically important.
