Calcium/Vitamin d tablets causing AF
Back in April, I discovered that I had a dairy intolerance. I have had a gluten intolerance for about 12 years now. More recently I have also discovered that I have a soya intolerance. Following stopping dairy, my blood tests showed that my calcium and vitamin d were low, so my oncologist asked

When should you take medication?
I had a scan 3 years ago and got scores of -2.6. I decided not to take medication at that time and stuck with calcium and K2 supplements as well as exercise. I am vegan so eating dairy was not an option. I am sure that if my scores are worse on this scan I will get a lot of pressure to start on medication

Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years

HELP! I'm New to osteoporosis - should I take meds?
I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis (at 63 - I think I'm too young) but I've always had osteopenia and am a small person. I've had doctors talk about medications but when I read the side effects and consider not being able to stop them (in the case of Prolia... which was highly recommended) I

Bonescan
I had a cupped knee few days ago, suddenly my left knee gave in, I couldn’t stand, last bonescan showed bones are getting weaker. I am 78, small built, are there any supplements I should be taking, calcium or fosamax? I take milk & yogurt for bones. Any suggestions? I have Hashimoto thyroid.

Calcium
It is recommended that older women get 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day. Shouldn't body weight and size be taken into consideration?

Raised Parathyroid Levels
Hi Back at the end of June I had a lot of bloods taken,one of these included electrolytes. My calcium levels,both actual and adjusted came back as below range. 2.1 on a range of 2.2-.26. However my surgery didn't pursue it even though I queried it. I've had a lot of health issues since last autumn

Anyone Else Used Livi For GP Services
Hi First off I'm not getting paid to endorse Livi lol but I've used it a few times when my own surgery has been AWOL. The last two female GP's I consulted have been especially good. These have been non thyroid issues, one one did notice my calcium levels were too low, which my own surgery had

Fosamax While Taking Pred
My Rheumy told me I need to take Fosamax to prevent Osteoporosis while I'm taking Prednisone. Do others take this or just take Calcium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2 Supplements?
