Can you split Prednisone dose for GCA?

Hmm. I’m not sure why she’d say no, unless maybe she meant it wasn’t an absolute must? I don’t see how that could be harmful unless you take too much calcium. Vitamin D would be hard to over-do.

My father is taking Fosomax to prevent bone loss and he was already prescribed a multivitamin that includes calcium and vitamin D because he’s mostly on tube feeding.

I’d be interested to see what they say.

We're getting a 2nd opinion later in the month. I'll let you know what the new doc has to say about this. We managed to get an appointment with the Chief of Rheumatology after speaking up loudly about some concerns we had on the treatment plan and because there was a delay in the doc even believing he could have GCA even though he had all the symptoms other than vision loss.
