It started with a chest pain in January 2014, she went to an ortho, was told to have an xray, found out that she had a small fracture. She was just given a pain reliever, Salonpas, and a corset. She was told to take a rest until the fracture heals but the pain worsen until she cant take it anymore so we took her to a bigger hospital. We were told that time that her creatinine was high and was admitted right then.
It was really hard because of the language barrier. We are really from the Philippines, but we migrated here years ago. Everything here is in Japanese, even the names of the medicines, so its really hard to tell and do researches.
Right now I don't know what she is receiving but she's taking treatment twice a week plus her insulin everyday. I've noticed that her skin became really dry. She keeps on having fever and she lost weight from 54kg [120 lbs] to 43kg [95 lbs]. She is still wearing a plastic gear around her chest especially made for her size to prevent further fractures. My mom is only 53 years old. I'm still hoping we can find something that could help her feel better, even natural meds if there is really no cure for it.
I need suggestions for alternative meds, supplements, herbal meds, anything that can help her because its really hard seeing her suffer
and if possible please include where we can find them. Thanks & God bless!
