> Garnet just left my endos after seeing the endo himself yearly is all. But he did test me a while back for Vita D and my D is fine at 42 with low being below twenty so don't have to take the l000mg of D. He stressed taking 2000mg of calcium for bones and magnesium.
There's nothing wrong with 2 grams of calcium for older individuals, just as for younger and nursing mothers -- typically its about 1.5 grams but 2 grams probably doesn't make that much of a difference. They should be taken at intervals of 500mg approximately throughout the day for older individuals (well even younger people can get this) because of the slight risk of kidney stones.
Since have hasimotos more labs as changed dose he drew a bell curve and wants mine to be between l and l.5 as that is the normal of tested individuals of what normal is. Also have had MRI's brain, spine, Spinal fluid taps and multiple antibiotics for chronic lymes and being on medicare cost isn't that high.Spinal taps are a very risky thing and can lead to infection and spinal cord dysfunction if not done properly -- for you, it may be necessary but it is a risky procedure in the wrong hands.
So there are some tests you can do. And lots of those conditions cause anxiety/ depression. Great about the healthy foods and no smoking. Love Phillipa
Lots of things can cause it, but there is -- mmm... I won't exxagerate, but yes, some misinformation out there about heavy metals and Lyme disease, both of which are rare occurrences. That doesn't mean they don't happen, but skepticism isn't a bad thing.-- Jay
