The day after tomorrow would be God-willing my dialysis again and I am just having second thoughts of taking my NSAID pain reliever which I usually take before my session day so that I will get some ease when I move around like taking the shower and alighting on and off the wheelchair and also to endure the rugged ride of our clunky car.
It is because I am not much of a pain with my back relative to the past months. Maybe my efforts and endurance about taking my Cinacalcet, phosphate binder, and my strict dieting is really paying off now and if that is so then I am really happy about it.
I am also taking 10,000 IU of my Vitamin D every other day or so, sometimes three times per week along with my Calcium supplementation so that it can help in making my bones heal.
If this pain issue continues to alleviate then I am on track in healing in my bone's healing process. I am already fulfilling the factors about healing my joints and bones by controlling or suppressing the function of my Parathyroid glad by taking my Cinacalcet regularly.
But I really could not take more than two tablets of 30 mg each of it every single day because of two reasons, one is that it causes me a severe nausea and appetiteloss and taking two tablets just is too much for my frail body to handle.
The other reason that I could not take two tablets of it is that its costs is too much for me to afford since I needed to still buy and pay other necessities and my effort to save some funds that I could use for my target medical goals and emergencies.
I am also trying to control the absorption of Phosphorus into my guts by taking "Renvela"my Phosphate binder. It is the reason that my Parathyroid had gone hyperfunctioning over the years which lead me to develop Leontiasis and the curvature of my backbone. So a phosphate binder now is very vital for my effort to make my bones to heal if not to halt its continued leaching of calcium to my bloodstream.
Parts of my internal organs had been calcified already because of the leaching of calcium in my system which is why some of my veins on my head and arms are now hardened and are like ligaments to the touch.
I also am trying to not eat foods that I know are rich in phosphorus and those that have some Phosphate additives because even though some of them have a small amount, those amounts adds up in time and I do not have much phosphate binder to spare which is why my meals are just limited in a day.
So there is a bit of sacrifice in terms of my kind of strict diet that I have to follow so that I can get away from the lingering pain that had plagued me and had been plaguing my all these years.
Now it is up for my body to respond in these efforts that I am doing and I think that I am making progress little by little and I still have to confirm if I am on the track to recovery even though I didn't get my needed parathyroidectomy yet. I still needed a whole lot of prayers.
