Also get exposed to Sun rays daily at least 10 minutes to get Vit-D, there by your bones get strengthened along with Calcium supplements. I remember I have advised you to get exposed to Sun in another post where you referred your bone pain and difficulty in walking,...

Hope you will get relief soon :)

Bhanu, the Calcium levels have been normal pre dialysis and lower than normal post dialysis. This has been very recent. It has been normal till about a month back. I am doing some research on what this means. But I think I have an explanation for all this including my PTH. I just want to be sure before I conclude. I will post on this soon.

One thing that is clear to me though - blood tests and scans are not the be-all and the end-all of our lives. The fact of the matter is things can take time to show up in measurable ways. So, you have to rely on common sense and logical reasoning.

Thanks
Kamal

Forgot to ask...so the calcium levels in blood in recent tests were still OK? I guess if it is Ok...it must be from the calcium from the bones but just curious if the calcium levels were normal.

Bravo. Its quite exciting to read this and sad at the same time. It shows how we as patients have to take control...yet many doctors do not embrace the concept of patient taking active role (as they are just "patients"). I had to do this even with transplant...and even detected abnormal low levels of immunosuppresants that I told them will happen after discontinuing a certain drug (which I read on internet can cause higher levels). They said they did not see with others...but I insisted on a bloodwork with a local lab as i do not want to wait 2 weeks. It turns out it was quite low (and nobody knows what it means) and now my dose is doubled. On one hand I am happy that I avoided a 2 week low dose instead of 1 week but it also shows that sometimes you have to rely on your gut and research. Still it is sometimes difficult. It is also difficult in the US as they cant just order something unless it is in their protocol and if there is no other indication as insurance related issues come up.

Anyway, great reading this.
