Calcium still on a spiral.

Well lasdt itme I saw Endo (Feb) he agreed my Calcium was low (2.1) and put me on Adcal d.

Well spoke to him the other day as my calcium is now 2.0, despite Adcal. You know what he said ? 'Well, Calcium will take some time to bounce back'

I dont know what I have to do to make them do their job. Im clearly going downwards even though Im on elephant doses of Calcium

Really peed off, what else do i have to do? Break as leg. Still suffering with joint/bone pain, all down left side. A little on my right, but my left its in my elbow,shoulder, finger (index) toe joint (big) and all through my ribs.

He said at Christmas he would refer me to a Rheumatologist, he has now told me to go back to my GP to get the appointment. I was under the impression he would be sorting it out at it had been so long. FML

Magnesium deficiency is often a cause of low calcium. As is vitamin D deficiency. Are you taking Vit D? I'll see if I can find some information that explains it more clearly...

hi

thanks Lilly may.

Im taking VitD and supplements, but what Im worried about is why am I having to 'shoot in the dark' regarding whats wrong ,when I have a very well paid consultant supposedly looking after my condition.

Watched this the other day and found it extremely interesting on the topic of Vitamin D by Boston School of Medicine lecturer:

Saw GP today. He explained my calcium fluctuates over time and corrects itself. He didn't seem to grasp the concept that I was taking elephant doses of calcium, and it was still dropping.

I think Im speaking Chinese and it sounds like English to me.
