I photographed her with some fruits on-hand that she bought.

My mother told me that she will not be going today to be with me for my dialysis because of her joint pain condition which was plaguing her for quite sometime now. We do not know yet what is causing it because she already had consulted with the doctor after my brother sent her to consult with my brother's own doctor which made her to do some bloodwork in order to see what is causing her mysterious body joint pain.

Mind you that I already told her and my father to take Vitamin K2 MK-7 for the purpose of strengthening their bones in the process which they did and so both of my parents are using it for quite sometime now already. My mother's developing joint pain condition was the factor on why I advised them to take the aforementioned vitamin because my mother is always complaining about this body pain.

Anyway, the result of her bloodwork or laboratory tests is good because her uric acid levels is normal indicating that she does not have rheumatism nor arthritis because her triglyceride levels is nor mal too. She do not have any Kidney impairment either because of the lab results. Also her blood sugar levels (Fasting blood sugar) is also normal which means that she does not diabetes nor a sign of it.

But still my mother is debilitated with pain on her knees and her shoulders, her right shoulder to be exact and I also noticed that her movements had become slower because of such mysterious pain condition. I really have no more clue on what is causing such terrible joint pain condition because lab tests turned out the she is fine except that her urine has a moderate level of bacteria and some mucus cells which should be just a "few" normally. So the doctor advised her to drink more fluids but my mother is already doing that, drinking two quarts of water after having her meals.

The lab results by the way also reveals that she doesn't have any infection in her body because the white blood cells are normal. So all that my mother was prescribed was actually calcium supplement and vitamins with minerals and this is what she is using now already. She got better only after taking Colchicine which should not be used continuously because of its toxic side-effects in the body and is only given to be used to temporarily alleviate the pain caused by gout attacks. Also the doctor prescribed her some pain medication which is also should be used temporarily otherwise it will cause her gout ulcers which is why the doctor told her after using the amount of those prescribed pain medication, my mother should stop taking those after the prescribed supply runs-out.

So now the pain came back and it just made my mother suffer again from body pain once more and prompting her to tell me that she will not be with me on my dialysis schedule. It is fine by me but my mother always wants to go with me because according to her, she wants to have some conversations with the relatives of other patients which because her friends already because they had liked her because of her strong personality. She doesn't want to e left alone in the house because according to her she gets bored because of obvious reasons. Thank goodness because at least now she has a smartphone that she is using to view entertaining videos from Facebook and sometimes having a conversation with my Aunts from their provinces.

I am also praying that my mother would get well soon because she actually had lost some considerable weight already. But according to her she can already eat normally which is a good sign and maybe the vitamins worked good for her. She was only using vitamin B1, B6, and B12 before and I think that if the vitamins will work, it could just be a vitamin-related deficiency is what is causing her mysterious joint pains. But according to her she is at least not getting any more worse compared to the last few days and weeks.

My sister together my brothers had bought my mother yesterday a cushion for my mother bed without me knowing and just later learned about it because according to my sister as I learned, that the hard surface of my mother's bed could be the cause of my mother's body pain, we will know the result if that is the case. I can't help but pity my mother and is already saying that she may not reach her birthday come end this year because of her peculiar pain condition. My trust is for God to heal her body pains because it is a burden to my thoughts and feels when my mother is ailing and it does break my heart in seeing her suffering which I can't help her with due to a cause not known to us. I am already thanking God about my mother's wellness already because my trust is always to God in what he can do for me and my family.
