Calcium channel blocker dosage
Hi all, I am on Cordilox (AKA Verapamil) which is a
calcium
channel blocker. Currently taking 2x40 mg twice a day = 160mg/day. Cardiologist suggested I change to one SLOW RELEASE 180mg tablet/day. When I asked. why he kind of said it will result in more even levels of the drug through the day.

6 month transplant anniversary!!! Whoo hoo
And my hyperparathyroid condition, which predates the transplant, is still hanging around as well; although, my
calcium
and phosphorous levels remain in the normal range. There is a surgery that can be done to resolve this issue permanently if needed.

Update - strontium citrate
I read some research in Australia that said to take the strontium citrate by opening the capsule and mixing it into a glass of water on an empty stomach or away from
calcium
or
calcium
foods. I am only taking 250 mgs per day bc I read there could be a risk of stroke with too much.

Newly Diagnosed
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" 0.9 points from -1.9 to -2.8.

Calcium d glucarate
The vitamin is called
calcium
d glucarate. You can buy it from Amazon. I open the capsule and put about 1:6, in a small sip of water and mix it (it floats somewhat) so, I had my dad take a quick sip each time.

Will get more blood tests in a fortnight with extra to check on vitD/
calcium
levels and be seen again in a month to reassess. Meantime a Dexascan will be arranged to set baseline for bone density and check for needs for bone protective meds - no bad thing at my age.

Wake up please and you will understand.
Last year I was a mess, my ocd hit high levels but alot of that was because I came off valium cold turkey and it gave me a massive physical and psychological major major battle, that breakdown taught me alot my friends and I hope this will serve you well. I suffered and still do at times when stressed

Stormy weather but we get through.
With a certain reluctance i once again laid on a New Year's Eve party, my heart wasn't in it and wanting to be anywhere but in my home, will anyone turn up in the atrocious weather?. I cooked a ham, turkey and beef stroganoff, assortment of cheeses and various sweet concoctions. 30 were invited but

HNY!... and a warning for those who lead busy lives (aka all of us)
Firstly, I'm conscious I haven't posted in a while. 2023 has been a tumultuous and stressful year for me personally which involved a very close family member being diagnosed with cancer at the start of the year and much of my life for the next 6 months revolving around that. It's not why I'm here, but

weird prickling
hi everyone. Hope you all had a good Christmas. My doctor has been trying me on different medication to help with anxiety. It’s mainly in the mornings Im anxious. I’ve tried sertraline, which kept me awake and made me feel worse. Then they tried Mirtazapine, which seemed to help with sleep and the anxiety
