Yesterday morning was a labs draw day, which means going to MGH in Danvers for 10 minutes and having my blood drawn. No big deal. But around 3:30 PM my nurse called and asked how I was feeling. I told her I felt fine. She then said well your labs came in and your Phosphorus is really low, like dangerously low. Unfortunately we need you to go to your nearest Emergency Room and get an I.V. treatment of phosphorus.
So Meg took me to the ER where they drew their own labs first. Their results came up a little better than the MGH results. They decided to consult their Nephrologist, who then said he wouldn't do the treatment or even a pill but suggested instead a diet of beans, whole rice, cheeses, dairy and yogurt. So I'm off to the grocery store this morning to stock up on plenty of those.
My link for phosphorus was more about some kind of test for phosphorus, but it also listed some of the symptoms of low phosphorus... so I included it.
Here's an image of some high phosphorus foods that I should eat
