Blood Test Results: Would You Be So Kind?
I had some fantastic guidance from GreyGoose last time who suggested ditching my prescribed
Adcal
and buying my own Vitamin D and B12 supplements, which I have done. I had a blood test a few days ago and I'm posting them here in the hope someone will be kind enough to give their opinion.

Positive chat with GP
My doctor rang with the results of my Dexa Scan and I have Osteopenia which he says is post menopausal and age related, and he is happy for me to carry on with
Adcal
, exercise and diet. He wants another scan in 3 years, so pleased with that.

Hello
I’ve been on
adcal
and vit D during that time but not bisphosphonates (despite me asking about it!) and over the last few years have had at least 3 rib fractures from very low impact activities (coughing, bending to lift things etc).

Few quick questions if anyone would be kind enough to reply
Hi, Doc has prescribed
Adcal
-D3 tablets. twice daily. says on the packet each tablet contains 1500mg calcium carbonate (=600mg calcium) and 400 I.U. cholecalciferol (=10 mg vitamin D3). and yet ive noticed some people on here are taking far more than that. Is this the correct dose?

Adcal-D3
I have been taking 2x750mg (200 I U) per day for the past few years and my gp wants to reduce it to 1x750 mgs per day and I would be very grateful for thoughts on the matter.

Dizziness and Autoimmune Hepatitis
I have been started on a course of Prednisolone and
Adcal
-D3, my question is could these issues be due to the side effects of the meds of due to my AIH? Has anyone else suffered with above issues? T.I.A Heather.

Action Plan Update-Get a Dexa Scan- Easier said than done.
Still taking AA, 20 mgs Omeprazole, and
AdCal
. Fairly certain now AA didn’t cause muscle weakness, was due to me over doing things, had 5 weeks off it , GP recommended. AA does give me more acid reflux (long term problem, been on Omeprazole for many years, may have contributed to osteopenia?).

Radiation and MBC
I take 5
Adcal
+D3 over every two day period. I wondered if my level dropped due to Radiation but apparently this isn’t so. I have to increase the
Adcal
now. I have started taking Magnesium due to cramp, some of you lovely ladies on here recommended it. It has been great. It has worked.

Alendronic acid tablets
I should add that I do take
Adcal
D3 daily. Maybe this is enough?

Omeprazole/Lansoprazole
I also take 2 x
Adcal
D3 a day. My question is, is there anything else I can take instead of Omeprazole and do I have to take anything to protect my stomach? I would be grateful for some advice please.

finished prednisolone 2 weeks back, still aching
Unfortunately despite taking alendronic acid and
Adcal
to counteract osteoporosis I have developed it quite badly. Have also had rapidly deteriorating eyesight due to cataracts so on waiting list now for op. Will be back to acupuncturist now had the covid jab so think he will help me.

Adcal

Adcal
since I have been on prescription VitD for many years.

ADCAL and RISEDRONATE
My prednisolone is down from 15mg to 2.5 mg after 30 months but the others have stayed at the same dose (
Adcal
@3000 mg daily and Risedronate @ 35mg weekly) - I'd really love that extra half hour in bed back on a Wednesday morning in the depths of winter!!! Trish

Adcal-D3 and Alendronic Acid
When pred was first prescribed I was also prescribed
Adcal
-D3 and Alendronic Acid. Why? Are these reduced as the pred is reduced, now on 8 down from 20?
