Yet another medical update

My nephrologist's nurse called this afternoon, and he wants to see me tomorrow at 10:30 and get another BMP at least an hour and a half before seeing him. He is extremely concerned and confused about the fact that my CO2 is dropping despite taking six sodium bicarbonate tablets a day.

He also will not authorize any procedure to deal with my kidney stones until the acidosis is under control.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Agggggggggh! Sounds frustrating! I hope they get things fixed for you SOON! I remember how frustrating it is to repeatedly go to the DR and get no results! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
