Why does my rheumatologist want me to go onto Methotrexate when I am on a low does of Prednisolone and am getting good symptom relief?
I stopped the
AdCal
when I went down to 5mg of Prednisolone a year ago but was told in no uncertain terms to start taking it again.

I’ve already had lumpectomy, lymph node clearance, 6 rounds of chemotherapy, having IV bisophates 6 monthly for 3 years and I’m currently taking Letrozole and
adcal
. The plan is that I will be taking this medication for 2 years.

dexa scan whilst on pred?
I was never offered a dexa scan before being issued with
adcal
. Is is too late to have one now? I have been on them since February 2023 and wondered if there is any point asking for one.

absorbing calcium
I have just started taking 1
adcal
-d3 a day, but it's hard to know if you are absorbing calcium because you read of so many foods that block and leech calcium from your bones, you don't know what to eat at mealtimes.

Night sweats again
Nothing else other than omeprazole and
Adcal
. 3) Sweats seem entirely random: I can go for weeks without any, then bang! Daily sweats for weeks. 4) Sweats are usually massive: pillow and bed so soaked that I have to change and go to another room. 5) Room temp does not play a part.

D mannose
I think I saw a post which said it was okay to take D mannose with prednisone,
adcal
and the other things we take for PMR and GCA but I can’t find it. I have taken 5 courses of antibiotics since February for a persistent UTI and I think it might be worth seeing if this will help to get rid of it.

Help interpreting summary of DEXA scan, please?
For several months I wasn’t even advised what to do about it until I spoke again to my regular doc, who prescribed soluble
ADCAL
D3. But somehow I never got the detailed results from her. At a recent 5-yearly face to face checkup with the nurse, I got her to print out my results.

Confused
I was diagnosed with GCA in May 2023, put on 60gms prednisone and
Adcal
d3. This is now down to 18gms. I'm confused about diet, tea coffee inhibiting absorption of calcium and times between taking meds.
