I take 1,200 mgs calcium per day, 1,000 vitamin D3, just started magnesium because I thought I may be low. Also take Potassium 2 times a day per my doctor.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?? I stopped my calcium for 24 hours just to see if I was getting too much. I eat cheese and milk products daily. I go to my Endocrinologist on May 8th, but just wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem? When I try to put my foot flat on the floor during one of these "nightly" episodes, I'm afraid I may fracture a bone in my foot putting too much weight on it. I have Osteoporosis with vertebrae fractures already at T8, T10, and T12. Help!!!View Thread


On the bottle it says a serving is 2 tablets = 400 mg. For some reason for the past many months I have thought it was 400 for each tablet, and had been taking 3 petite tabs per day total, thinking I was getting 1,200 mg per day. After reading the bottle, apparently I have only been getting 600 mg per day, which is way under what I think I should have been taking. Anyone else as confused as I was about this?View Thread



I am taking my calcium and vitamin D3 every day, and then my Forteo I inject every day.
I am getting an injection into my S1 on the 29th of this month, and hope to get some relief with the nerve. Right now, that pain is the biggest thing keeping me from going forward at the moment. I hope it helps.View Thread

I had an MRI done recently which showed the T 12 was crumbling and because of that, the T 10 & T 8 are now affected. My spine looks very curved on an x-ray. I also had surgery on L3/4 & L 4/5, and now I am having severe pain at the S1 joint.
I just want to know, what is the future going to have in store for me? I know that's a loaded question, but has anyone else ever been to the place I'm at with Osteoporosis? I had to quit my job and I get some exercise walking. Just to know there is someone out there that may be experiencing something similar, and how you are handling it on a day by day basis. Two years ago I was very active, and could do most anything.View Thread

Anyway, with my daughter watching me, I did ok.I was wondering though, is their anyone who had to take a weekly injection of Methotrexate, and if so how do you keep track of the different sites so I don't end up hitting the same one twice? Also, I didn't realize how "expensive" these Forteo injections were. I paid $50 which was a co-pay, but I was told this runs $1,400 without insurance. I was wondering if their are others out there taking this drug, and do you have any comments?View Thread
