Estrogen loss at menopause makes bone loss inevitable for most of us, I think. We are living longer and that is the downside!

I cannot eat dairy so do 800-1200 mg calcium (800 on Tymlos, 1200 on Evenity), B vitamins including folate, and on Tymlos I did 3,000 units of Vitamin D3 and 43mcg Vitamin k. I have reduced the D3 back to 2,000 units off Tymlos. I also take magnesium and get potassium from low sodium V-8.

Curious about the basis of your decision to lower your Vit D3?

Windyshores - what magnesium do you take?

Just had an appt last week with my local doctor & I have lost WAY TOO MUCH weight! I know I am a picky eater but this is really bad!!

Have given Dr McC's list of initial last tests to my doctor. If he agrees to order them & my insureance covers them, I hope to get Dr McM's read on them & how to proceed.
