Hey everyone, doc here
Today, let's talk about hyperparathyroidism and a medication called PTH 30 (cinacalcet)
We know how complex our body is, and for it to work optimally, specific vitamins and minerals, along with other major nutrients, need to be fed to it in the form of a balanced diet. One such vital mineral is calcium, which needs to be in perfect tune for your bones to be strong, muscles to contract, and nerves to fire. The parathyroid glands, these tiny glands near your thyroid in… read more
I've tried Eucalyptus lotion, which helps falling asleep, but not continuously through the night. So tired of being tired.
I suggest a sleeping medication. A a 10 mg Valium
might help you sleep through the night. Good luck.

Has anyone else's pain management doctor gone so far as to suggest that PAS, physician assisted suicide, is "an option" for treating your intractable pain? Since when has this " treatment" been acceptable!?
Time for a new Dr. That Dr should be reported

I just moved here. Am about to get United Healthcare (a Medigap plan). I'm on hydrocodone/ acetaminophen, 3 pills a day plus morphine sulfate ER, 15 mgs. Been taking this amount for 8 years. ( Finally got my Kaiser doctor in CA to add a 4th, but she started a taper when the crap new CDC guidelines came out last year.) I'm so worried a new Dr will try and cut me back even more. My quality of life would be zero, if that happens! Thanks in advance for any recomendations!
