I agree about catastrophic planning and arming yourself with knowledge. I do it myself. Seems to be ingrained in healthcare people. I know if you have the parathyroid problem they will have to attend to that. But don't get yourself freaked over the maybes and might happens on a procedure yet, all I'm saying...

I was just thinking if your bones are in danger of fracture right now that bishosphinate might be an option to help the resorption and bring some pain down. You hate to let that go and then take a while rebuilding if there's an option to hasten bone strengthening that might also help pain and CRPS. God knows people get achy even with osteopenia.

Look up minocycline and pain or minocycline and glia, very interesting. Well tolerated unless a history of sensitivity to tetracyclines. Low side effects, made me a bit dizzy and vision slightly blurred but not enough to discontinue for the 10 days I took it.

Take care and keep fightin, you can't give up till I do and vice versa. Good thing we're stubborn....
