Help interpreting summary of DEXA scan, please?
I had a DEXA san in January 2022, 18 months after being diagnosed and starting on Pred. By then my usual GP was away. I was just told I had osteopenia. I’m 65. For several months I wasn’t even advised what to do about it until I spoke again to my regular doc, who prescribed soluble ADCAL D3.

Lab results help & talking to doctor about med changes
I talked to my doctor before my lab work about possibly changing the dosage of my levothyroxine or even adding T3 because I still don't think I am optimal. She gave me a " we will see" response and said she doesn't want to mess with it too much because adding one thing can make something else wonky.

D3 lowers estrogen in blood!
I bought a kiddie pool so I could lay out and get some sunshine. I grew up on an island and I love the water ... ANY water! So I bought it solely for my enjoyment. Then I come across this article from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center on how D3 lowers estrogen and this interests me because I recently

Calcium, confused
Yes, many posts on calcium, to take or not to take. Tall Allen has posted research results on the efficacy and stated that calcium supplements are not necessary if your levels are correct from a blood test.My level of calcium in 2021 was low in spite of using a Mediteranean diet and no supplements.

Folic Acid And Vitamin D Timings
I have to take 5mg of Folic acid a day which I take straight after breakfast which in turn is usually between 1 1/2-2 hours after Levothyroxine. I have now been told by GP to take 25mcg of Vitamin D3 daily. I asked my Haematologist if I can take the VitD3 with the Folic acid, the answer was yes, can

Gut issues from Vitamin D3 Ampoule Uvedose?
Hi all, Replying to everyone who has been helping me about the 100,000 Uvedose of Vitamin D3. Seems it is popular in France. My level in the US is usually under 30 which is the lowest you should have and the last time it was 30 in midwinter so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me regarding sunshine.

Best tool you could ever keep in your wallet and it only takes only minutes to d o!
Do you hate when you go to the doctor and they ask what your medicines are and if you've had any changes lately. Your mind then goes back over the long list of medicines and supplements you are currently taking and you're supposed to know milligrams and of dosage etc . It's darn near impossible to do

Knee surgery
Hey guys! I am facing total knee replacement surgery (robotics) next month. I will be in the hospital overnight one night. I remember seeing a list in this forum of things to remember to look out for; i.e., nausea medicine the anesthesiologist might use, what I need to tell the doctor or nurses at

Vitamin D3 Necessity?
Hi all, I'm a GCA patient, having started at 60 MG in AUG 2022. I'm down to 12.5 MG today. I have felt lousy in so many respects including fatigue, vision issues, and GI problems since day 1. When the rheumy put me on Alendronic Acid a month of so ago, that was the "last straw." It made me feel
