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;
