Vit D3 can I increase my dose?? - advice please.
My initial score after 5 months on elevated doses of
Adcal
had only improved 3 points from an initial score of 25, to a dizzy 28. Its not quite been a month, but I have to say I cannot say I have felt any improvement in my pain levels whatsoever.

Has anyone suffered hair loss whilst on madopar and amantadine
Also I take 4
adcal
( calcium tablets) a day for bone strength. I did take alendronic tablet once a week but stopped taking it 2 months ago as I thought that was causing my hair loss. As I'm still losing hair has anyone else had the same problem?

Not sure whether to ask GP for more tests
Her vitamin D was below normal and was prescribed
Adcal
D3 My question is should the GP do further tests, we have been waiting to see if the results for MS and Myasthenia Gravis came back with anything and now we can rule these out just wondering whether she should have the tests for PA or are we better

After 3 years of taking it, no more Methotrexate for me !!!!!
Apart from my Vitamin D being low recently (I have started on
Adcal
-D3 and I feel much better). However, I've had some difficulties with my eyes too, a bit of double vision, blurred vision and some funny eye disturbances since the beginning of the year.

I've got a stress fracture in my foot and I'm worried that this is because of low bone density associated with CD
I know I've got osteopenia in my lower back and hips so I'm on
adcal
. I was shocked at the stress fracture as I have no pain in that area, just stiffness. Even though I've got osteopenia in my back and hips they were fine during a recent fall from my bike on the ice.

Genova Tests
I take my thyroid meds at night so I shall not take them the night before and I assume that as I'm not having any mineral testing I am ok to take my
AdCal
+D3, Selenium, Zinc, B12 and Magnesium as usual? (I take in the morning so will take normally the day before and take that days after my test).

Am I optimising Levothyroxine by it taking at the right time?
I don't eat for at least 30 minutes, usually an hour after or more, but I am on Hydroxichloraquine which has to be taken twice a day with food and I take my
AdCal
D3 and Amitriptyline at night along with an antihistamine and any pain meds I'm needing - so it's a bit of a juggling act.

Drug Side Effects - Advice needed please - Adcal/Omeprazole
I take
adcal
but have read in another post that
adcal
can cancel out omeprazole. Is there an alternative? I have also read about the side effects of omeprazole such as heart problems, bone problems, salt problems. What are your thoughts on ritinidine, is it as effective as omeprazole?

Itching, especially lower legs
Then I thought it might be
Adcal
+D3 as I'd only been taking that for a few weeks, so I stopped that too. I usually take 1 anti histamine a day, but as that didn't solve it either, I increased it to 2 a day.
