Dear Diary: I Am Put In A Much Medical Dilemma And I Don't Know What To Do About It
I will be expecting in a few days after my doctor had seen the result of my intact PTH result that she will make me take a higher dose of what I am using for my hyperparathyroidism. It is not that simple for reasons such as the cost of my medicine because it is a not an ordinary medicine and in fact I am just the only one using it in my province. It is too damn expensive and if I will agree to double my dose it will really cost a ridiculously amounts of money to sustain it.
Some patients that had taken it just surrendered because of its nauseating side-effects. I had made a simple experiment yesterday after my dialysis and after my my blood was cleaned I didn't take my night dose. In the morning I was feeling much okay with my appetite and had eaten much better but this morning after taking it the nauseating side-effects are just beginning again.
So if I were to agree and take a much higher dose I will feel spent in both money and my physical energy and we-being. It may not be worth it because the therapy will defeat the reason to make me well but it will both not make me feel well surely and that is the dilemma I am facing now.
Probably over the years my parathyroid just had developed a good blood supply because of its hyperactivity so my medicine although is working but it is not enough to fully control my parathyroid. I really do not know what to do now as my choices are either limited or I have no choice at all. This is such a life that I have to face so that I could survive it. Now I envy people who just have a normal health and when they laugh I just can't bear to realize that I can't laugh like them.
You should really follow the schedule of the doses, your case is quite a dynamic one, I assume that given your timeline your parathyroid would have develop robust blood supply so any secretion probably be abnormally high... Higher dose of the medicine may be necessary but I know that would terribly impact your appetite... I know how expensive these medication can be so you definitely have to make some sacrifice
each person has their own strengths and weaknesses, do not give up you will surely be able to laugh and recover @cryptopie
I feel what you are passing through but just believe that you will survive all this and you will be able to laugh again and have fun. Do take care of yourself

You bring uniqueness, awareness, and much strength to show the world. I would advise to keep putting yourself out there and connecting with others to further your research. You never know what you can find out and help with any problems we have. It is has we have figure out issues for thousands of years. Hang in there @cryptopie!
This is obviously painful and not fair at all.
By the way, there is indeed a dilemma. Considering your blood result of iPTH doctor wants to increase the dose of your medication. On the other hand, it has some side-effect which might be double as well.
Talk with your doctor to find out a reasonable way.
Even though there's no way I can compare my health with yours dear little brother, I too am not healthy, I too have thyroid issues and many other's I don't talk about publicly. But I need you to know you're not alone, I'm rooting for you and pray for you. Faith and strength in God my friend always, it's what keeps me going. 🙏💪❤
