Default Billye, no one doc has thot of...

IVIG for you? With the arthritis etc, the methotrex and all that is a literal killer...Since I'd been border osteos [on the line between the two] IVIG or plasmapherisis seemed the safest way to go, w/the IVIG being the less invasive and taxing of the two.

I know where you're at about the breaking of bones...the meds I'm on now just defeat all the attempts to put calcium into me...Last week I probably fractured something in my foot stepping on a sidewalk crack wrong... didn't bother going to a doc cause there's not much more than 'wrapping' can be done...I KNOW how to wrap by now...

It's all about trade-offs I think. I'm seeing the Endo soon w/a follow up about my bone-loss, the thyroid thing appears to play a role in all this..Don't know about you, but that brings my docs' list up to [I almost hate to say this]twelve. I suspect your list is up there too!

Nuff said other than 'WHO's ON FIRST?'

Whatever happens don't fall? PLEASE! Super good thoughts and a few hugs to go with them! - j
