Endocrine Dr. follow up

Nov 09, 2009 12:00AM - 1 comments

New diagnoses: Renal Tubular Acidosis, very low vitamin D levels, low potassium, and probable Rickets...I cannot believe the rickets...the Dr. even said very unusual to see in an adult here in the US...seems it has to do with all of my kidney problems, and my body not being able to process and or use vitamin D, Calcium (except to make all of the kidney stones...sigh). I have a bone scan scheduled for 11-16, will see what it shows...In the meantime,the Dr. has prescribed some treatments, and I am hopeful, which I don't usually let myself get that way...that way I am not disappointed when things don't work out...anyways, I am hopeful that with treatment, I may get some of this pain, fatigue, depression out of my life...and I can have some of my life back...for me...and my wonderful husband...

Yikes!  I so hope the new treatments will help soon and that you do get your life back like you deserve!

Hugs, Trudie
