I am losing phosphate I was carried into the ER unable to stand without help diagnosed with hypophosphatemia blogs on other sites say antiepileptic drugs can cause this with long term use my neurologist says there is no evidence of this my kidney doctor is evasive because I don't think he knows how to address this I was tested for thyroid problems but nothing out of the ordinary Anyone heard or experienced anything like this?
