Just got the results of hubby's last PTH and it was 417!!!   :clap; Down from 1300.  He was taking 60 mg a day and it is reduced now to 30!!  We just picked up a months supply of 60's today. Luckily I have insurance - cost was almost $700 but I only pay $7.95. Not sure if we can cut them in 2 or not but the dialysis nurse faxed a new script to the pharmacy here in town for 30 mg and we will pick them up tomorrow.

Maybe you can ask if it's ok to take the 60's on alternate days to use up the 60's you got. For a while I was on alternate days with no real problem.

I have to call the dialysis nurse tomorrow on a couple of issues and I am going to ask about the 60 mg pills.  I wonder if they are a pill you can split and take half.
