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

What does this mean: Elevated calcium score 893 predominantly involving LAD and RCA 11/2022
Cardiologist said: "Elevated calcium score of 893 predominantly involving LAD and RCA. His stress nuclear study was unremarkable. His prior angiogram was unremarkable. He will add baby aspirin and statin given the elevated calcium score. Last LDL was 121 mg/dL. PVCs-he does not have active ischemia

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.

My Current Regiment of Administering B12.
With the sublingual of total 15-20 mg a day 3-4 doses my brain fog changed to 'brain haze' I could force myself to do things as I had much experience with accomplishing that, I chose not to push when I could which was extremely difficult and it took some practice to accomplish it without angst. A leap

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?

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

Need help finding Diet App for tracking dietary intake
Hi. I have been monitoring my intake but no formal or efficient way to track daily intake: protein, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, sugar, fat, calories, etc.I also track water intake, which is much easier. I've been writing down what I eat, but this is so time consuming. Does anyone know of

Hello all, My 76 year old mother recently had a cardiac scan done. Her total coronary calcium score is 470 (ie 75 th - 90th percentile ). It's got both her and I rather concerned. Is there anything she can do to better things? Any advice/tips/comments? Much appreciated, Sophie .

Thank you all for your help. Results of discussion with doc - Parathyroid hormone: 10.93 (range 1.5-7.2), higher than range but lower than a year ago apparently (14+). This was a few months before my GCA diagnosis. Still waiting on results for B12, iron, folate. A year ago vit D levels and calcium

Plaque kills. Is this a reliable test?
Forget calcium scoring. Forget even seeing your GP. Is the answer simply to do this test at home and check your plaque levels - plaque kills...?
