I've got severe osteoporosis, since my calcium is always low. I've been taking vit.D, (ergocalcifero) twice a week, and fosimax for monts and months that hasn't helped my bone density over a 2 year period.
So, the doctor wants me to take an injection instead of taking the fosimax. It is an strong drug that is a once a year injection instead of a weekly pill.
The problem with this is that there is a risk associated with this injection (as well as the weekly pills) that my jaw bone (Mandible) could die (osteonecrosis).
This wouldn't be good.
I've been having good luck on the protein/edema department.
I had an appointment about 2 weeks following my last hospitalization. This appointment was about a month ago.
In the process of that appointment, it was decided that I should get admitted for diureses since I was there and had gained about 10 poinds of fluid.
I stayed about 7 days and reduced my weight from about 185 to 175.
The news is that since I've been out, I've been holding steady at about 174.
Maybe there is something to getting albumin infused in excessive amounts that curbs my protein loss.
Well, this is all for now.
