Hi, I'm talking a host of medication now while awaiting a kidney transplant. I sympathize with those of you who are taking yet another drug, but my real question now is that I started the medication and expected a little naseau or tummy upset, not a full blown rush to ememergency for severe stomach pain the next day! Although they said it might have been a paratoneal infection I find that really convenient when I had no usual symptoms. I've had this before but not the the degree where I was flat on back in emergency screaming due to severe pain. Okay so I'm on the antibiotics now, but we still don't know what happened. De. I don't want to take the medicine if it isn't going to control the intial problems. Try as I might to convince medical experts that I am not the usual dialysis patient, they are always on a wait and see experience and then when it all comes true they are flabbergasted. This isn't a condition that is supposed to leave a person stumped. The medication is $420 a bottle for 30 pills and to me there has got to be something else I can take that works better at a lessor rate. Sure I have insurance, but gees.

Sensipar is to decrease the PTH, however it also reduced my Calcium and Phosphorus. The decrease in Calcium made it easier for me to take Phos Lo for my binder, which is much cheaper than the others. My bone pain has also went away. I am now on a transplant list.

my nephlogist has written prescriptions for Rocaltrol, Calcitriol, zemplar, and sensipar. My insurance company will not pay for these medications. They said that they are not covered by our plan. What is so different about these medications that insurance will not cover them?
