Calcium supplements - the latest advice is DON’T take them!
There’s increasing evidence about calcium supplements and evidence that they cause colon polyps and that the calcium ends up in arteries rather than bones and therefore best avoided. In this article they recommend getting calcium from your diet and exercise - ‘Multiple studies have found that there

A maternal brain hormone that builds bone - Nature - Published: 10 July 2024
[i]This recent research paper in Nature is potentially ground-breaking for the understanding of essential mechanisms involved with bone health. It's findings are related to hormonal changes during the start of mid-pregnancy lactation and early newborn nurturing that could possibly lay the foundation

hello, is anyone on this calcium channel blocker? Just wondered as seems to cause least side effect in terms of redness feet/ swelling compared with, for example Amlodipine . Thank you. Think one of the newer calcium channel blockers so might be expensive I suppose. Also not sure about dosage seems

Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results

Some experiences on cardiac symptoms
After a stroke ten years ago I had an ASD closure. I was born with a mitral valve prolapse. My regurgitation currently is estimated to be moderate to severe. No surgery on the cards. About three months ago I was shopping when I experienced a severe pain in my upper back and left arm. My arm felt

An update…..and pins & needles
Hi everyone, For all who know me through my infrequent posts on this site over the years I thought I’d share the news that I have received recently a diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Hopefully a fully treatable kind but not entirely sure at present. As awful as it sounds it is in disguise a relief to have

Calcium
Has anyone tried natural high calcium mineral water to help absorption of calcium. I am already drinking high silica mineral water which is supposed to displace aluminium which seems to be endemic in our modern lifestyle according to Dr Exley Phd. I am mindful of the plastic bottles it comes in but overall

diltiazem and Parkinsonism
Has anyone heard of calcium channel blockers like diltiazem causing Parkinson’s symptoms? I was just told by a very reputable foot doctor that it is common, can cause rigidity etc. He said most cardiologist’s weren’t aware of this significant side effect.

PMR/GCA monitoring and bone supplements
Hi recently diagnosed with PMR and just started course of steroids in the last week. Doctor has now sent me the tapering programme for following year. As I have osteopenia of the femur he has suggested I take supplements for my bones. Either calcium and vit D or bisphosponates? Any advice on which

Blood pressure medication
Sorry to bother people I am suffering from bad brain fog (or maybe just stupidity ) but I need to go back on medication for high blood pressure and all I can recall is that calcium channel blockers are not suitable but cannot remember which tablets are OK. Any suggestions would be gratefully received

calcium intake
so now I have osteoporosis after RT and 18 months of zoladex for localised high risk G9. I didn’t start bisphosphonate until 4-5 months into hormone therapy- me but being on the ball and medics not mentioning it - odd as already had polio after effects so I was likely already low BMD. Anyway…. I am
