Bones Absorbing Calcium
Does anyone know if there is a test to take to know how well or if our bones are absorbing the calcium we eat and calcium supplements we take? Does testing calcium in the blood tell us how much calcium our bones are absorbing ?

Will Not Crumble!
Hello lovelies first DEXA at 55 and -2.5 in the spine.... I guess those 4 years of prednisone in my late teens and twenties did a number.. or my dairy-free lifestyle (allergic since birth) not to mention 20 years of no beef/ pork ... so now what? I follow an anti-inflammatory diet with supplements

Hi and Happy New Year to you all ! I'm just after a little advise. This morning I had an Osteoporosis consultation. I haven't been able to tolerate AA, Risedronate or Zoladronic Acid but luckily my fracture scores are low 1.8% - 7%. I was diagnosed just under 2 years ago and only have Osteoporosis

Suitable drugs for hypertension
I am due to see my GP on Wednesday and I know we will be having a conversation about my raised blood pressure (in the region of 159/70). I already know calcium channel blockers are not good for RLS and I cannot take beta blockers which make my heart go much too slow. Could any of you good folk give

Calcium Supplements
I want to thank all of you who responded to my question on using calcium supplements. I received many replies on exercise, diet, efficacy and side effects which led me to conclude that my current lifestyle is more than adequate to maintain bone health without supplements. I want to trust my docs to

Results are in (Update 2/17/23)
So recurrent after radiation and 2 years ADT. PSA pretty close to 3 by now. Bone and CT scan done because my cheap insurance company denied the Pylarify until after the other 2. I don't mind the extra contrasts, barium or whatever hell else they gave me. I keep asking is it nuclear. Only the bone scan

timing of supplements
I am confused about whether it is beneficial to take supplements at certain times of the day or with/without certain pairings. Perhaps it just doesn’t matter, which would be much more convenient. This is what I am currently doing,, but I’d appreciated any suggestions, especially if you think I am overthinking

Full removal of thyroid and parathyroid anxiety levels very high
hello, I hope someone can help. in August 2022, I had my total thyroid and total parathyroid removed, they were both so enlarged that they were suffocating me, this was only discovered when the operation was performed, though I had been suffering serious breathing problems for the preceding year and

Timing of XGeva & Radium 223.
My husband is due to start Radium 223 treatments at Stanford. His oncologist wants him to also start XGeva. The XGeva injections were postponed until after he had dental crown work done. He had an appointment for that on 2/6 which has been delayed because he tested + for Covid. His rescheduled appointment

Atrovastatin, amilodipine and supplemental calcium
Can amilodipine be taken whilst on atrovastatin? If a person developed severe back pain while taking 20mg po atrovastatin, should a calcium supplement be also taken?Would back pain go away if atrovastatin dose was decreased to 10mg per day? Should I increase my treadmill use to at least 3 times per

Mild Heart decease
Hi All By chance I have found out I have mild Heart decease , 65 calcium score , but my cardiologist says the blockage in my LAD is too small to give a percentage, therefore is a calcium score not necessarily related to the blockage amount, I have not had a heart attack , passed all the running test
