Hello worlds, good afternoon or morning – depending on what part of the world you are from!
After being ill for over a decade, right now I am struggling with my phosphate level. A
year ago it was 0.5 and after changing my diet it was 0.74 last time my blood was drawn. It should be between 0.8 and 1.5.
My doctor suggested a test that is new in the Netherlands and checks my hormone FgF23. Apparently that can cause the reduced intake of my phosphate. However - as far as I know – phosphate being too low doesn't seem to be a threat to my health? So I wonder... perhaps someone can explain to me how this works and whether or not it is useful to be tested for it. If indeed, there is something wrong with that specific hormone, can it be fixed?
An explanation of my current situation: I am housebound, experience difficulty with exercising in general, headaches, shortly: not doing good. So far I have not noticed anything different, while the levels of phosphate increased.
Thanks, Wall Paper
