Humm he didn’t mention the potassium citrate at all bit he did mention for me to swap my calcium carbonate that Intake for my bones (thanks to the years of prednisone) to calcium citrate so maybe that’s similar. He said it helps flush stuff out with the benefits of keeping the calcium. I’ll ask the next time I’m there. They’ll be doing another ultra sound in a month or two to see if they’ve grown/ passed. Im hoping that’s what the pain was from but the doc wasn’t sure. He says the stones were still in my kidneys so he just said “ they will be uncomfortable when they pass” but didn’t say if I’m actively passing them. Kind of obscure. I think I was so shocked as he counted up how many I had I didn’t know what to ask! I had a stent put in for some stones a few years back so at least he said we were there yet. These are able to be passed at this point.
jhendrix- as for the lupus- I don’t have any symptoms at all. The only reason I had to go off it was bc my blood work indicated I had high ANA, Histone levels, and a few other things. And my rheumatologist checked my blood work several diff times to be sure bc she didn’t want to take me off it. It’s drug induced meaning as soon as I go off it, my levels should go back to normal. I can go back on another drug like Stelera. I have tried Cimzia and Entivio and both failed- Cimzia worked well for a while though. Keep on trucking I guess. But other than that I feel good..
