Can NDT help with low calcium levels?
Calcium
levels tend to be fluctuating between ‘ normal’ and low. Have been given alfacalcidol to improve
calcium
absorption, but there is not much improvement. I am tempted to start private treatment with Armour thyroid, to see if it will improve matters. My daughter is on it and feels very well.

Echocardiogram
After having 2 ECGs (nothing untoward detected),
calcium
ct scan (zero score) & medication, looks like finally under control. Today I've received a letter for appointment at hospital to go for echocardiogram (another doctor from my surgery has requested this).

GP disagrees with diagnosis of osteoporosis
When I started on pred I asked about
calcium
and vitamin D and was assured they weren’t necessary if I had a healthy diet.

Ibrance and supplements
My oncologist recommended not to take
calcium
and vitamin D because I have a high level of
calcium
in my blood. I mainly use vitamin C, and I try to compensate everything else from food. I am 69 years old and use Ibrance 100 + fulvestrant monthly and zometa every 3 months.

calcium
.

Constipation
Is it due to the prednisone or the
Calcium
supplements (600 mg x 2 per day)? I take Miralax (Restorolax) every couple of days. then I take mineral oil for couple of days, then Sennekot with Senna once per week to clear things out. Is there any advice you can share.

24 hr Calcium Urine Test
I would be interested in knowing what results others have received on this test since being on Pred. I know Pred leaches Ca from the bones. That Ca goes somewhere and if it's not hanging out in the blood, then most likely it's being dumped by the kidneys. Or so it seems to me. It could be plaquing up

Encephalopathy (HE), a visit to an ancient brain
When I was delivered to the ER due to critical
calcium
levels I was at risk for a heart attack and/or kidney damage. It was a clear emergency and I'm fortunate to have suffered no long term damage to either organ. I credit my wife for acting when I was not capable of much rational thought.

Change clinics after failed first attempt?
They said all eggs looked healthy quality but only 4 fertilised ( they said ICSI plus
calcium
might be tried next time, no male factor, I think they think it’s my stubborn eggs)😏 Out of the 4 that fertilised, we got 4 day 5 embryos ( 3 became blasts).

Getting adequate bone minerals without milk or yogurt
I took
calcium
and Vitamin D for many years because I've always hated milk and yogurt. I have some digestive problems now and can't take
calcium
. I try to eat green veggies, and I eat cheese, but I worry about my bones. I tried
calcium
hydroxyapatite but got constipated. Any suggestions?
