    Black lives, blue lives, guns, terrorists, psychos, 2nd amendment...

    As a white woman in an 8 yr relationship with a black man, I can tell you that I 100% agree with this. At first I was guilty of trying to explain why something must have happened. I couldn't accept that so many in society could be this way. Now I realise, it is more often than not for NO other...

    pregnancy after DS

    I was pregnant but sadly miscarried at 12 weeks. I spoke at length to my midwife and endo about his. They said they would go solely on my blood levels and were not concerned about how much I was taking. They said that yes, there are guidelines, but that I was not 'normal' and so shouldn't be...

    Alternatives to Forceval?

    You can get centrum on prescription. I take 2 per day. You don't need forceval. What calcium have they got you on? cacit D3? They are likely to have about 400iu of vitamin D which is not even worth counting.

    Labs to Looksy! Am I ok?

    It was the first time in 11 years any of them had said anything sensible. Same endo overruled hemo on infusions too! I struck gold. I'll overlook that only half my bloods were done. Sigh.

    Labs to Looksy! Am I ok?

    You shouldn't have any issue taking 3 a day. As my endo says...it doesn't matter what it says on the label, what matters is how much you absorb. Make sure you add in more mag if you take more D.

    Labs to Looksy! Am I ok?

    so.... I still haven't got to 200, but my GP and endo know I am aiming for there. My endo is more interested in my PTH being normal, which it is now. They were anxious about me lowering my daily dose from 150,000iu to 100,000iu so they are pretty cool. Vit D is about soooooo much more than your...

    Labs to Looksy! Am I ok?

    Aim to get your D to 200-250nmol, then you will feel the full benefits, not just the preventing-osteoporosis ones!
