Title: Can I get a WOOHOO?!
Post by: cherpep on April 17, 2009, 11:41:03 AM

I had my monthly checkup today (I'm a home hemo patient).  In August, my PTH was at 900, and we've been working toward getting it lower. 

This month - my PTH was.... wait for it......  148!!!!!!!

Last month it was still at 500.  We doubled up on the Sensipar, and here I am.  No more talk about surgery.  I think that deserves a WOOHOO!

Good for you, Cherpep!   :yahoo;   Is the Sensipar still making you sick?  Glad the numbers have come down so much.  :2thumbsup;

I'm definitely building up a tolerance to the Sensipar.  It made me real sick in the beginning.  I was OK until last month when she doubled the dose.  But, I'm tolerating it more and more every day.  Seeing the numbers go down will make it a lot easier to bear the nausea.  I believe soon I'll completely tolerant and not get sick at all.  Thinkin positive!

I know that WooooHoooo!  Had one myself this month!

Actually, the last time I was on Sensipar, I started throwing up all the time.  I was scheduled for surgery, since the Sensipar wasn't doing enough anyhow, and I asked if I could stop taking it in the last couple of weeks before the surgery.  Doc said yes, and I stopped taking it.  But I was still queasy and occasionally puking some of the time, so I have to wonder how much of the puking was the Sensipar, and how much was the chemical imbalance that comes with a high PTH.

My PTH, after bouncing around like a rubber ball - 900, then 450, then 600, etc., dropped this month to 385.  Not perfect, but much better!  So no surgery right now for me, either!  :bandance;

Congratulations! 
Keeping PTH down helps tremendously with bone disease and calcification problems.

And me too!  My PTH also dropped to around 150, as of last week, after months and months of Zemplar!
