Bone guy weighs in
I got a call from the bone metabolism specialist. He says he's had hundreds of people on PTH, and never seen a dramatic change in cholesterol like I've had. In fact, he's never seen it. He's also not seen peripheral neuropathy. He says people have complained of bone pain, or throat pain sometimes; and his patients are sick, he said; they get everything. But this is a new one. He suggests stopping the Forteo for two weeks, giving the nerves a chance to heal, and then re-challenging.
He also suggests seeing a cardiologist. My neuro suggests a lipid specialist.
That passport of a body I've got keeps getting new stamps.
Feeling okay with this; it's not fun, but not the end of the world.
