Newly Diagnosed
I was diagnosed with Osteopenia in July of 2018. I was told to continue with Vitamin D and Calcium daily. It did absolutely nothing. After doing some research, and with the numbers I had, I should have definitely been scanned again before 3 years/3 months later. November 2021 my left femur went "up"

Advice about plan of treatment
I am 67, was diagnosed with PMR 2 weeks ago after 4 weeks of symptoms (stiffness and pain in neck, arms, shoulders, couldn't raise arms above shoulders, immense tiredness etc). Initial GP contact was excellent - he identified the problem, blood tests same day, consult 2 days later to confirm diagnosis

Low Platelet, WBC, Lymphocyte etc
Good morning, I was wondering whether it is normal for those of us with UAT/Hashimotos to have low counts on these things? Whenever I get a full test done they come back slightly low or borderline. These are the ones I'm generally low or borderline on (since around 2012) : Lymphocyte count - last

I have osteoporosis and I took Fosamax for a while and then lost 6 teeth! I stopped taking it a while ago, but my back is giving me grief now. I am taking calcium and Vitamin D, but I need to find out whether there are any alternatives to alendronic acid.

New to the group
I have been taking prednisolone for PMR for nearly 4 weeks and have my first review this week - I'm feeling fab since starting on pred - not taking any supplements yet - should I be asking about calcium and vitamin D at my review appointment?

Does Life Extension Neuro-Mag supplement [magnesium threonate (Magtein)] have heavy metal contaminant issues?
If anyone has access to Consumer Labs or similar testing data on contaminants in magnesium supplements, can you please check to see if LEF brand's NeuroMag supplement (which is Magtein magnesium threonate) ranks? Also would be interested in ranking/levels of any supplement that contains only Magtein.

Beta Blockers vs. Calcium Channel Blockers - Which causes weight gain?
I have been on the beta blocker Carvedilol for several years now because of high blood pressure and to help control my ectopic heartbeats (Premature Atrial Contractions), and it seems I have a difficult time keeping my weight down. I'm not sure if it could be related to the Carvedilol. I'm considering

Bone Density - Dexa
But I take vitamin K2, vitamin D,
magnesium
, boron, etc. I do not take
calcium
. Or perhaps the cause is E2<12 pg/mL. I have that covered too. But doctors persist in prescribing harmful Bisphosphonates & Denosumab (Prolia / Xgeva).
