Esomprazole, stomach issues and calcium deficiency
When I was diagnosed with PMR in March 2021, I was prescribed Omeprazole and Alendronic Acid. The Omeprazole made sense as I have a history of stomach upsets. I resisted the AA until a DEXA scan identified osteoporosis and osteopenia. I switched to Risedronate because I could not tolerate the AA. I

Calcium and Vitamin D
I have vitamin D deficiency. The calcium + Vit D tablets prescribed by GP either upset my stomach (dissolvable) or non dissolvable ( chewable ! ) aggravate my gums. Can anyone please recommend alternatives that aren't hugely difficult to swallow ? Also what mg is recommended. I'm aware that perhaps

Vitamin A,D,E,K deficiency..
After gall bladder surgery my Doctors in India recommended no vitamin supplements . Read somewhere about possible fat soluble Vitamin deficiency after gall bladder removal. Is it safe to take Vitamin D with Vit K2 as MK7 as a supplement ?. Is it true that Vitamin D , if taken alone would cause Calcium

Orgovyx vs. Lupron, (with Enzalutimide or Abiraterone).
Hello all - I was hoping someone has some insight for me. I just started ADT which consisted of a loading dose made up of 2 shots of Firmagon in the stomach. While the shots did not hurt much, it was about 8 hours later that experienced a lot of pain at the injection sites. Today, which is 9 days after

Adcal-D3
Just wondering if anyone takes Adcal-D3 prescribed by the GP. I've just been looking at the level of D3 and its 400 I.U. (equivalent to 10 micrograms per tablet). For winter that seems low to me; was wondering if anyone takes extra D3? Its important I can absorb calcium as I've now got osteoporosis

Graves, on carbimazole for 10 months
Not sure if you can actually see this, it's very small. I was diagnosed with Graves (Trab +ve) in April last year and have been treated with Carbimazole. It has been a bumpy ride but I am towards the end of my menopausal journey after years of severe PMS so who knows. I have been on Sertraline since

Vitamin D metabolism in cancer: potential feasibility of vitamin D metabolism blocking therapy
New paper below [1]. Vitamin D circulates in the blood as inactive 25-D. Â The kidneys will convert 25-D to the active hormone 1,25-D, as needed, to maintain circulating calcium levels. Elsewhere, cells that need 1,25-D first produce the enzyme that performs the conversion of 25-D. It is normal for

Just met with my regular hematologist for a follow up. The CBC looks good, with HCT dropping a bit more to 43.0%. All the other numbers look good. We will carry on with the current plan, Besremi 150mcg and monitor labs every 8 weeks. I am very pleased that the three more doses of Besremi + a single

Valium RLS
Is anyone using Valium/diazepam or any other benzo to treat RLS? The Horizant that I’ve been using for the last year and a half isn’t working as well as it used to.

Calcium and other bone needs
Decided not to take the 500 g of calcium built into the triple pill containing K2 and D3. It was also a huge pill which is off putting. I’ve purchased the K2 and D3 combination but picked a separate one for the calcium which contains 250 g. Good thing is it has other goodies included like manganese and

Does anyone take NDT at night?
Hi I’m thinking about swapping my meds to nighttime. I currently take a combination of ERFA and thyroxine first thing, and then another 1/2 grain of ERFA at lunch. But my calcium is very low and I need to take multiple doses at the moment which is tricky with thyroid meds. So I’ve been thinking

adverse reaction to contrast fluid in CT scan or coincidental gastro enteritis

Abdominal MRI
good morning. I’m curious for those who have had an MRI, did you have to take something for anxiety? My hep has suggested Valium but I prefer not to be loop legged.
