Itching.
Every time I call the doctor I seem to be fobbed off and given an extra medication to add to my ever increasing collection, I’m currently on levo, citalopram, naproxen, stemetil,
adcal
, norethisterone, omeprazole and now they want me to take antihistamines for the itching.

Inflammation dampening??
Is the pmr inflammation beginning to subside, is it the Joe Wickes squats I'm doing, is it because I couldn't get
Adcal
for last 3 nights or is it because I'm actually feeling better on 5mg? I certainly couldn't manage 5mg in 2019. I intend to stay here for 3 months.

Magnesium and MBC
I take Ibrance and Letrazole together with a monthly Denosumab injection and
Adcal
+D3. I’ve been having bad cramp in my legs and hands. Mostly wakes me during the night. My Cancer Nurse advised Magnesium.

Adcal-D3
Has anyone had this prescribed? I went to collect my monthly prescription and this was added to it. I wasn’t expecting it and of course googled it. But just wondered if anyone else has had it and if they experienced side effects. Thankyou

Pain in ribs at night
I take Presnisolone for PMR (since March 2020) and my GP prescribed 4 tabs per day of
AdCal
about 7 weeks ago - with the first episodes of night pain starting about a week later. The results of a recent Dexa scan shows I have osteoporosis (T score on spine -3.9).

Osteoporosis treatment
I take
Adcal
but realise with 3/4” height loss I need to be on something that will increase bone density. My question therefore is has anyone else been in a similar position and what medication are you on for this and any side effects? Thank you

Fibromyalgia and PMR?
Added Alendronic acid due to a poor Dexa scan result and also take
Adcal
D3, K2 and magnesium for my bones. I reduced the pred slowly and steadily but struggled to get lower that 12.5mg without pain returning.

Alternatives to Adcal
Hi I responded badly to
Adcal
and my GP said there would be enough calcium in my diet. I take vitD and K2 plus multi vitamin daily and I’m on 8mgs Pred. However, I’ve been on a bio-sulphate for over three years and want to stop. Any suggestions as to another kind of calcium I could take? Thanks!

Recent hip replacement following trip on drive now prescribed Adcal D3. Read this can lead to strokes and heart attacks over time.
Will a calcium and D3 diet be better than taking
Adcal
D3. Also on 20 mg omeprazole which can lessen calcium absorption.

Adcal and Pred
Would one of our experts please clarify taking
Adcal
and Pred at the same time please. I currently take all of my Pred, Metamorfin, Lanzaprosal and
adcal
with my breakfast. What should I be doing? Is the Pred ineffective if taken at the same time as
Adcal
?

I don’t think I’ve had enough blood tests done for Vit D and Calcium levels - I take
AdCal
as given by my GP - but don’t know if the levels are too high or too low. I’ve read here that it’s best to aim for over 70nmol for Vit D - is that the general consensus?

Vitamin supplements
Sort of related to my last post and in case my next telephone appointment with docs is not totally productive do people have a preferred make/type of vitamin D (
Adcal
D3?) K2 and anything else sensible to be taking? Also what strength? There seems to be a huge choice on the market.

Is ADCAL dangerous?
My GP put me on
ADCAL
when he diagnosed PMR and started Prednisolone. At my first telephone consultatioon with a rheumy (I sacked him yesterday!) he said to come off it as it is dangerous. I am not on any calcium medication. Anyone confirm this or make any comment? Thanks.
