Bit of a Rant
My ferritin was slightly elevated and my
calcium
was below range so I was told to have them repated. I got an early morning draw because my surgery decided for reasons unknown, to repeat all the blood tests even the normal ones 😒.

Dairy foods, calcium intakes, and risk of incident prostate cancer in Adventist Health Study-2
Studies available to me ~18 years ago associated dairy &
calcium
with worse outcome. Something like >1 pint of milk or 1,000 mg
calcium
seemed to me to be unwise. Then, over the years, the evidence weakened. Men returned to dairy. So this study will be unwelcome to some.

Calcium and arteries
My husband had massive heart attack last April and triple heart by pass last November he’s never drank alcohol or smoked, he walks a couple times a week 2/3 mile I know he needs to step up this regime , the drs have said his
calcium
is low and given him D3 tablets I’m worried that this is going to contribute

Decrease in Levo?
I’m taking Adcal
calcium
and vitamin D (only recently started) and 100 mcg Mercury Pharma Levothyroxine. I eat sensibly and walk a minimum of 40 minutes every day, couple of hours a day at weekends.

I Really Don't Understand My GP
However my serum
calcium
is below range and my ferritin slightly elevated. They said these needed retesting. So I contacted the surgery and was told yes make an appointment for bloods, we'll put them on the system.

levothyroxine and Angina
He prescribed a
Calcium
Channel blocker. I feel terrible. The pain is much duller, but still there, and I feel lethargic. Do all meds cause this? Can I switch to something else? Armour? Can someone please share if this happened to them? THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!

What does this mean?!
My
calcium
levels were deemed to be fine but Alendronate was suggested. I never did start it, but 2 years later I’m wondering if I now should.

vitamin d supplements
My gp last week said i should take adcal which only has 400 iu. she said i need
calcium
with vit d and 5000 iu is way too much. I am confused now . Also should i take k2 with 5000iu vitamin d? I have been very lucky as never caught covid so far or colds or flu. Any advice please.

Yoghurt and thyroxine/NDT
The same blood test showed my
calcium
levels are still low, I can’t and don’t want to increase my
calcium
supplement so I decided to start having yoghurt at breakfast. I am now wondering if this is why I am feeling so tired again. Can
calcium
in food form also impact T4 absorption?

Help
She is low in vit d,
calcium
and iron. So far no cause has been found. We r lost. Dhe suffers daily and hasn't been able to attend school for a year now, we keep getting fobbed off with IBS. The pain she experiences is excruciating, I can't make them understand. Something is being missed.
