I've been drinking coffee ever since I was just a kid, it has been also my past time since I could not indulge in colas when I was still young, of course I have no money then and drinking coffee is just something like essential to me especially in the times that I go to school, in my review work just before exams like when I was using a typewriter to do some projects and coffee just makes me extend my time to fight sleepiness while I am trying to finish-up my work.
It is just recently that I have learned about the bad thing about coffee regarding its effects on my bone health and I think it contributed a lot for my development of this rare bone disease or condition that is called "Leontiasis Ossea" which is caused by Hyperparathyroidism which is caused by a long-term elevation of Phosphorus in my body because of my failed Kidneys.
Well I was not informed and educated about what will happen to me so I just made my situation run its course because I am made oblivious on what would happen to me. Now it did happened so I am just dealing with this difficult to manage and expensive kind of complication to my bones which will not be reversed but only maybe getting stopped in its tracks if I were to have what I need which is a Parathyroidectomy.
I am now seeking help and assistance to my former classmates if they can help me find a doctor that is performing a Parathyroidectomy (partial) so that I can go and have myself referred to that doctor and help me get rid of this offending hypergland that had changed my life in a bad way already. I am just sad that it had came into this situation but I am still full of hope until that hope maybe and God forbid, to get dissipated by some medical comorbidity which will not let me get my needed surgery.
But there is a thing that is called a "Waiver" where I could push the doctors (maybe) to perform a surgery like this one and not to hold them liable for any complications that would arise which can cause me death and such. Anyway it is all worth it for me because I do not want to live like this forever, I will just rather burn-up than just fade-away and suffer a lingering death. It just makes a shiver down my spine when I think of such eventualities arising from a news telling me that this surgery cannot be performed on me so my fear and worries are real.
Anyway, Caffeine now is my drug of choice to help me survive my dialysis session without my blood pressure to crash down on me, it is readily available and it does work well in stabilizing my blood pressure. So I am happy with it because I was able to lower my body weight which made me feel much better in-between dialysis days, I do not get breathless now much easily because I already got a good amount of fluid allowance before I feel full with water and that is in itself an achievement already for me.
But I regret to use Caffeine now that I know its negative effects in absorbing Calcium in my system but I am just limiting its use now and only taking it at my dialysis treatment which a good amount are cleaned put anyway. I just needed it badly because of the said reasons and I will just continue to use caffeine pills in particular as well as the energy drinks just for me to finish-up my session without much fuss unlike before.
