Dear Diary: My End Of The Month Health Update
I am much better today compared to the last few months that I had spent trying to alleviate some of my body pains by medicating my parathyroid with Cinacalcet because of this darn gland that is just in a hyper mode ever since probably after I first began my dialysis.
But I am much grateful and thankful that my back pain had improved and the pain from it is not very much noticeable especially when I am laying down on my bed because it was like a giant vice grip was pinching it and no amount of resting and laying down could ever make it improve until I took Cinacalcet.
Now my complaints was this extra water weight in my body that my nurses doesn't seem to care to solve as I have to bargain but my pleadings goes into deaf ears. If only I was reaching my dry weight I would be in a much better well-being but that is really a very hard thing to achieve with this kind of health-uncare that I am receiving.
So I am just not comfortable in walking or moving around because it makes me go as breathless like a fish out of water. Maybe the upcoming hot weather will help me achieve my dry weight goals. A "dry weight" is my true body weight without extra fluids.

This weekend I will have my Parathyroid tested again if it is responding well to my medicine, if not then I could not do anything anymore about it until I get the Parathyroidectomy which aims to take off most of my parathyroid so that it will not be able to pump of its destructive hormones in my body and cause my Leontiasis to progress.
Taking extra Cinacalcet is out of the question, I will not take more as I could not afford it anyway plus I will not be able to eat anymore because of its nasty side-effects like nausea and appetite loss.
As soon as I am certain that I could afford whichever, my needed Parathyroidectomy, Kidney transplant, or Peritoneal dialysis at home I will go forward with it if God wills it. Right now I see that I could not do anything much with my finances so I will just have to continue with my diet management and my parathyroid medication therapy. I just needed much prayers and all the help that I can get. May God help us all.
We are praying for you. May God bless and keep you. May you find the peace that only He can give.
God bless you @coreyb
Thank you very much.
I am glad to hear things are a little bit better for you. One step at a time is about all we can do. I will continue to pray for you, your medical treatment and your finances. God bless.
Hi @cryptopie, it sounds like you have a plan, though not an easy one.....
Let us all know what you find out.... as always we are all praying for you :)
Yes it is just good for me to make a goal rather than just let fate run my life @silvertop.
Very good @cryptopie! I would give you an upvote but I just ran my power down (:
@cryptopie have you noticed steemconnect now has a new URL https://app.steemconnect.com
With the app. in the URL. I have been asking on discord, just making sure this is legit.
It used to say " make sure you are on httts://steemconnect" and that warning is missing.
It also now wants your active key..... just trying to be safe..... have you heard anything, is this legit???
I am not updated on that.
Just double check on discord or ask witnesses.
Will do, I'll let you know what I find out tomorrow.... Have a good night!!!! ( it's 12:07 AM Here ) :)
HI @cryptopie, just to let you know if you use steemconnect the new URL is legit and correct. I checked with Steem Devs on Discord. :)
I hope today is going good for you!
That is good to know @silvertop
I am really apprehensive sometimes when steemconnect is used because I might do it wrong and my account compromised since I am holding a bunch of SP and liquid steeem plus SBDs
Thank you Sir.
Best wishes, my wife is living with hypothyroidism, it's a tough road to walk so I empathize with you greatly. Keep speaking out and always be in alignment with your truth, it is quite possible an imbalance or dis-ease is a manifestation of something undetected by science which causes the body to do any and everything to get noticed in hopes of bringing the needed changes to the surface.. Thyroid throat, voice, truth..
The hyperparathyroid was caused by an imbalance caused by me being a dialysis patient for a long time. Now that also caused me to develop Leontiasis. But I just have to control or cure hyperparathyroid so that my Leontiasis won't get worse and the pains to go eaging again in my body.
A difficult situation indeed I hope you're able to find some relief and management of the pain..
