I Take Renvela Just To Keep My Phosphorus Levels In Check

I remember during the years on end having this severe skin itching and it was caused by none other than high levels of Phosphorus in my body due to my failed Kidneys. At that time I was drinking colas which has phosphoric acid in it. I do not have any idea that it was the cause of my high elevations of phosphorus as no one had told me about that issue at dialysis.

After figuring out that it was the number one cause of my skin's itchiness I stopped drinking Colas altogether but still my Phosphorus levels is high because I am still eating foods with sometimes high concentrations of phosphates or phosphorus in them and no one has ever prescribed me or told me to take phosphate binders.

I could have blamed my doctor but I would not be able to afford that medicine anyway so I am just in a precarious situation otherwise. But taking "Renvela" came a bit to little too late for me because bone changes already had happened in me causing deformities and further disabilities. Now I am in pain and couldn't do anything much especially when I get up from my bed because of the pains and stiffness that I am experiencing.

Using A Hot Water In A Plastic Bag Inside A Thin Cloth Is My Technique

But before that I am just experiencing skin itchiness especially at my back. So I have learned to deal with it by putting a hot water inside a plastic bag and that I would put inside a thin piece of cloth which then I would apply to the itchy skin areas on my body.

It actually works temporarily but the relief could last for hours. It is of course better than scratching my skin that can only exacerbate the itchiness. So if I would apply that kind of hot compress on the itchy areas the area would get so itchy and then relieved once I feel the pain. It is actually so soothing once it is relieved and at that point I would be able to maybe sleep and get a sense of a better well-being.

If it gets itchy again I will just repeat the process. But now that the air is relatively cooler and drier my skin still gets itchy at times and I am glad that I am able to discover what is the best treatment for a skin itchiness.

Now even though my meals gets expensive because I have to take two of these tablets of Renvela it is worth it because it makes my phosphorus levels in check and won't get too elevated that can cause a further exacerbation of hyperactivity of my Parathyroid gland.

It had been a hard blow in my life having to suffer all these things because my body is not yet capitulating and still going and going. I still want to live though but not like this where there is a constant pain but teh painful fact is that it gets getting worse. I hope that God has a plan for me because it is just hard and I do not deserve to live like this.
