High Phosphorus

[SpeedFleX]

yes the binders are a very important thing, mine is at 3.5 at the moment, the thing that annoys me a lot through is when ever somethings high they say,  YOU CAN'T EAT THAT or YOU CAN'T EAT THIS, but never just wtf we are allowed to eat. I mean even the list they gave me is all what you are not supposed to eat.

But most of the time I have good levels and eat bad pretty mich every day, like now I'm eat a big mac, where are my binders?

You know, this whole situation is hard.  It's hard to have to remember to take so many pills and consistently take everything on time.  It's obviously not very fair, but I realize that these are the cards that I was dealt and it's up to just me to figure out how I choose to play them.  It's difficult to remember binders at every meal and snack...but I really don't have an excuse to forget them.  Or maybe it's realizing that the life I have at the start of each new day is the reward I get for doing what I need to do.....

A transplant coordinator once said to me: "If you can't remember to take you phosphate binders, how do you expect me to believe you'll take your anti-rejection medications?"

And you know what?  She's right.
