My Medicines Are The Source Of My Relief And My Misery

I really do not like to take my medicines like my parathyroid medicine, Cinacalcet was the brand name we buy, I really hated it, when I open it I would hold my breath. The fumes coming alone from the blister pack would make me feel queasy and nauseated already. I would often wait a couple of minutes before taking it down, again while holding my breath so that I won't get to taste its nauseating flavor.

Come moments after taking it I really would feel sick, more often would be sick enough that it affects my online work, I couldn't even watch a movie for that matter and would be miserable-feeling during the rest of the night because I often take it a supper time.

My Phosphate Binder

But indeed my Cinacalcet is also the factor that my pains subsided a bit especially during the years that I am not taking it. The lingering pain in my back went out slowly but lately it is coming back again, it comes in a somewhat heat sensation on my back now but indeed painful particularly during dialysis if I am already feeling restless then it would intensify the pain.

What I do not like also was its prohibitive price as well which is really draining out my saved funds fast. So I am worried that if this bear market continues I will be left out with a hole in my pocket with my Parathyroid didn't even get a solution with its hyper state. It is because Cinacalcet doesn't heal it completely, it s just controlling it a little. It's because I am in pain and my laboratory result shows it.

My Appetite Would Have Been Excellent Without This Needed Drug

I maybe saved from pain but not completely, I have to take a pain medicine like today or else I will not be able to even use the bathroom. It may give me some form of relief temporarily but of course it doesn't come without a side-effect, I am worried that it will soon make me anemic again because the NSAID pain-reliever that I am taking destroys red blood cells and I was taking it for a while now so I just hate it because I am just forced to take it for that matter.

Regarding my Phosphate binder it is also a pain in the pockets because it is expensive and eats a lot of my earnings per day considering that I do not earn that much everyday. If I were to be liberal on my diet then I just have to take more of it which at the moment is not practical. But anyway I couldn't eat more anyway so a couple maybe would suffice and it works as the last time my Phosphorus levels are normal.

It Is Painful To Move Around Without Diclofenac NSAID Pain Reliever

But my phosphate binder is the key for me to enjoy prohibited foods but it will make my meals expensive because of its costs. So all in all my medicines are helping me but they also a source of my financial ruin and misery of my body in the other hand.

Soon I just wanted to either die or afford all what medicines and medical procedures that I needed. Right now I do not want to take my Parathyroid but I needed it so I have to take it. But a procedure that is called a parathyroidectomy would supposedly help me and would free me from taking that awful medicine altogether. I pray to God that he wills it for me to take my needed surgeries so that I can be able to live without pain anymore and freed from having to buy expensive medicines that also robs me with my life.
