I recently started kidney dialysis and my doctor prescribed Dialyvite 800mcg Tablets to help replace the vitamins I might be losing. I've read about the possible side effects, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has experience with this supplement. How have you found it? Has it helped with your vitamin levels? Any tips on dealing with the side effects? I've heard a bit about the potential for stomach issues, so any advice on that would be great too.

Paricalcitol is a vitamin D analog specifically designed to help manage parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in patients with kidney disease. By lowering PTH without causing harmful calcium or phosphorus build-up, it offers a critical benefit for those with chronic kidney disease. However, like any medication, it comes with its own set of potential side effects. I've been on Paricalcitol for a few months now, and while it's helped manage my PTH levels, I've noticed some side effects that have been a bit concerning. I'd love to hear from others who have similar experiences or tips on managing these issues. The most common side effects I've encountered are mild and manageable, such as diarrhea, upset stomach, and dizziness. However, I've also experienced some more severe symptoms like bone pain and unusual thirst, which have been quite alarming. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had similar experiences and how they've coped. Are these symptoms part of the typical side effect profile, or could they indicate something more serious?

Phoslyra Solution is a liquid medicine designed to lower high phosphate levels in the blood, which is crucial for people with kidney disease. It works by binding to the phosphate in food, preventing absorption. The most concerning part for me is the list of potential side effects, including urges for a visit to the ER for signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, hives, swollen skin, and difficulty breathing. They also warn about signs of high calcium levels, including nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Plus, according to the docs, anyone can experience upset stomach or diarrhea. So, let me ask all of you: has anyone out there been on Phoslyra and could share their experience? How did you manage any side effects? What did the doctor say about it? Let me hear stories! Tell me all about it.

Does anyone have tips on the best way to mix and take these powders daily ? Does it have a bad taste? How has it affected your digestive system -constipation or diarrhea?
