Calcium, confused
Yes, many posts on calcium, to take or not to take. Tall Allen has posted research results on the efficacy and stated that calcium supplements are not necessary if your levels are correct from a blood test.My level of calcium in 2021 was low in spite of using a Mediteranean diet and no supplements.

What should I be doing about tapering prednisolone?
Hello again, good people. I posted a few weeks ago when newly diagnosed and have learned a lot from your advice but I think I need a bit more. I said then my GP wanted me to begin a taper from 15mg prednisolone after a month to 10mg. At 4 weeks on pred (last Thursday) I had bloods taken - ESR 8, CRP

an anniversary
hi! Today is the second anniversary of my heart attack. (Nstemi). From reading others’ posts, I’ve been quite lucky. I ended up with 5 relaxing days in hospital, during the pandemic, plugged into many wires, with lovely caring nurses, and an angiogram/ angioplasty which revealed two 80% blocked coronary

PMR confusion over drug timings
Hi, I have PMR and been taking prednisolone for about a year, trying to reduce and now on 9mg daily. I take Omeprazole in the early morning, before Pred. and then the calcium chew. I have seen on these posts recently that the calcium should not be taken near to the Pred as they do not react well with

vaginal estrogen and vag valium question
I was wondering if any of you lovely ladies are using both vaginal estrogen cream and vaginal valium suppositories. I'm supposed to insert a valium suppository every night (10mg) and I also insert 1 gram of estradiol cream three nights a week. I'm worried that the valium will keep the estrogen cream

blood pressure
I have coronary artery disease, two stents. I take Candestarten for high BP, had to stop taking Amlopodine as I was allergic to it, my BP is high at top and normal at bottom reading. Wondered if anybody knew of a Calcium Channel Blocker that has minimum side effects,

Thyroidectomy
Just had my thyroid removed two days ago. Had very sudden growth of nodules (over 5cm) and had large nodules on both sides. So only option was complete removal. Not sure what to expect now. Started on calcium and Euthyrox (100ug) (Levothyroxine). Feel OK, a bit buzzy and lightheaded but I guess that

Alendronic acid
Since my flair up I've now been on 15mg pred ( up from 7mg)for 3 weeks. Well, iv'e not felt this good in years. I can actually walk properly, walk with a stride and at a decent pace without feeling that my legs are bound by a resistance band. My energy levels are almost normal as some 4 years ago.

Zometa
I am scheduled for my first injection in the morning . I read somewhere on here my calcium should be 10 or higher. Mine has been running the past 9 months between 9.8 and 9.2. Not sure what to do? Hugs to all of you, keep your fight going! Sharon

Gardening wobbles
Hello, Today I had to prune the rose bushes and the bush roses, in a terraced front garden. However, I was disappointed to find that it was hard going, because I felt weak,a bit unsure and a bit wobbly. I’m 77 but have seen older people gardening with gusto. I used to do a lot in the garden and last

Video : How One Disease Changed What We Know About Medicine - Twice
This video (7 mins 21 secs) is about the discovery of vitamin D and its connection with rickets, and how this then turned into discoveries about the connection with calcium and then it starts getting a bit more complicated... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL31wtijV4Q Since vitamin D gets mentioned

Hello, having been previously fit and well, I was surprised to have a an ever increasing amount of severe pain in my shoulders,hips and wrists in July 2022.

Good morning all. I have an endo appt this Thursday and am trying to prepare myself as I am worried my dosage of Levo might be reduced. I am concerned that T3 conversion needs improvement as I still don't feel 'good' but because my TSH is at the bottom of the range my endo may ignore my concern. I can't

Also Inspired by Paul's Post: beta blocker vs. calcium channel blocker
Hello fellow Afibbers, Although I thought to myself, "It's just me," this update might resonate with someone else. After my initial diagnosis a year and a half ago, I was put on the beta blocker metoprolol --first at a low dosage, then increasing to the max (100 mg / day). It did next to nothing in

Radium 223 and (AdcalD3) calcium supplements
Hi I was hoping for some clarity here as I've been getting different advice in the UK. I think the advice is to keep off the calcium supplements 7 days before a Ra 223 injection and then return to the tablets a few days after. Similarly my Zometa (Zoledronic Acid )injection should be timed so it
