Feeling a little doomed

Sensipar dosage changed to 150mg today. PTH went way up again  They claim that doing lots of dialysis has nothing to do with your PTH levels. So how come mine went down so far after 4 weeks of nocturnal training (for 3 1/2) and a few days trying it at home. It's got me suspicious a little. Before I go loose it on the doctor  (who I can't get in to for 2 months) I am going to try a little experiment.

Well that's my theory Charee, that will be my little experiment while I'm waiting to get into the Dr. With the help of my home-hemo trainer I will try dialyzing 4-5 nights a week for a few weeks and see what happens to my PTH. Not nocturnal cause I just can't deal with that but I figure I may as well do something, and what a better time than when it's -30c outside and snowing. I'll try it in January.
