high blood pressure.
I also read that Felopodine is a
calcium
channel blocker, whereas Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor, but a
calcium
channel blocker was mentioned. Is this right. I feel like Felopodine has taken 2 months of my life, not able to eat properly, not going out and in extreme pain.

That we actually do not need dairy as adults and should be getting
calcium
from fruits and veggies along with natural
calcium
supplements. I have recently switched to organic egg shell
calcium
, as it absorbs 67% more than other
calcium
. Has anyone been using this and see improvements?

Medication to treat AFIB and hair losss
I have been on Apixaban, diltiazem (a
calcium
channel blocker) and Flecainide for AFIB. Initially I was on only the apixaban and diltiazem but they had no effect and my AFIB occurred much more frequently and was getting worse. My cardiologist then put me on Flecainide.

Will lowering T3 dose raise TSH?
The blood
calcium
is finally dropping. I can function on my current dosage of 50 mcg levo and 60 mcg Liothyronine, spread over two days. My doctor wants to halve the T3 dose for 2 weeks and then again halve it to see if the TSH comes up.

are you taking vitamins / supplements, in conjunction with use of a prescription bone treatment?
after all, the main trial for prolia had participants on daily
calcium
supplement with vitamin D.

Prolia 1yr Update
I chose not to take Vitamin D or
calcium
as they were within normal range. My DEXA scan a year later showed a 3.5 % increase in bone density in my hip with a T of -0.9 and assessed as normal.

Biphosphonates Questions
In 2018 I was encouraged by HeronNS’s advice about rebuilding bone naturally—
calcium
, D3, K2, exercise with weighted vest, and
calcium
diet. The 2021 DEXA went from spine (2.5 to 2.0) and hip (1.4 to 1.3) but femur (2.0 to 2.5). Heron’s advice really worked!!!!! (Thanks, HeronNs!!).

I have been taking
calcium
and vitamin D all along but maybe I need to increase the amount I am taking, or switch to a particular brand?? Here in Texas we are expecting temperatures to be in the high eighties tomorrow which will be a cool front after weeks of 100 plus!

should you take supplements at the same time as the Pred dose?
I recently read not to take
calcium
supplements at the same time as my morning pred dose, are there any other wisdoms about taking Vit D, potassium etc at the same time as pred ? or is it better to not take anything else at the same time? thanks

Heart-healthy foods.
One theory is that the
calcium
in milk can drive total
calcium
intake to a level that inhibits hormonal vitamin D creation (cacitriol from calcidiol). Another is that it is the IGF-I (insulin-like growth factor 1), which tends to be elevated in PCa.
