Shellfish Allergies and Plant Based Calcium
Has anyone with seafood/shellfish allergies successfully found a plant-based calcium supplement made from algae that you can safely take? And, if so, could you please share the supplement brand. I'm in the US. Thank you.

Elevated parathyroid hormone?
Is there any research, data, or personal experience with having parathyroid levels, but not blood calcium levels, become elevated while taking alendronate? I had been on alendronate very successfully (no side effects and a stabilized DEXA) for about 6 months when my TSH to monitor my decade long hypothyroidism

Still only 1 and 1 only AFIB reading since Oct, 2020
Only one finding of afib since October 2020. I bought a Kardia immediately after and check myself about 25 times a week. 73 years old and all is good. Moving forward to November of 2022, my cardio doc believes I should still take the miserable Eliquis twice daily. Eliquis pretty much makes my life a

P -Afib. Doctornow wanting to prescribe lopemide
I've had P-Afib for a few years now well managed with a calcium blocker SR Verapamil. Due to an unrelated condition another specialist has recommended Lopermide 2mg 3×s per day up to 5xs per day. I'm not keen to take it like this long termly as I see irregular heart beat & palpitations is linked to this

Timing of calcium supplements
I know that it is a no-no to take Adcal, Accrete etc within 2 hours of pred because the resultant 'soup' impedes the pred from being absorbed. But is this the case with gastric-coated pred? I notice that on the PIL it says it should be taken within 1 1/2 hours of a meal. Gets tricky when you have to

parathyroid blood test question
hi Has anyone had a parathyroid blood test? My appointment is 8.25am, so should I follow the usual fasting and Levo 24 hours before routine? Do I stop/ reduce D3/K2? currently on 4000iu drops. I’ve read it makes sense to get calcium and vit D tested at the same time. Anyone know if this is routine

Please help . Someone posted a list of blood test that your doctor should do before you take any medicines for OP. It had a test listed for bone markers and if your calcium was being absorbed in your bones among many other blood work test. Can someone please repost that long list of test? I would really

Anyone clued up on bone health please?
I recently had a bone scan and was very concerned to learn that there had been severe degenerative changes to both my spine and hips which weren't expected as my scan 3 years ago wasn't bad. They did take me off Alendronic Acid 18 months ago at which time I also went gluten and dairy free (found out

Paralysed Brother diagnosed with severe heart failure, scared and confused as constantly getting conflicting information
DB was taken to hospital last week suffering severe breathlessness and erratic heartbeat. He is paralysed following a spinal cord injury 7 years ago. Upon admission he was also discovered to have low sodium and calcium and "deranged bloods". I live very far away and so called the hospital every day
