Thanks I am on vitamin D3/K2 I will add magnesium and calcium. I think the later come together.
Calcium/Vitamin D3 is a more commonly available combination supplement than Calcium and Magnesium, but irrespective, I wouldn't take any supplements until you talked to your doctor. Taking more calcium than you need could possible affect your kidney function and increase your risk of (extremely painful) kidney stones:

trilpub, can you give us a link to the article? I would like to read it.
I had a good long search for Dr Byrd's recommendations for treating pain with nutrition. I haven't found it yet but I did find about 10 short videos of him discussing Ibrutinib and CLL. I haven't watched them all but there may be something there. Interesting stuff nonetheless. onclive.com/specialist/John...
