Can you split Prednisone dose for GCA?

My Doctor warned me that taking Calcium supplements alone can be a problem. It isnt well absorbed by the body and can leave deposits in blood vessels and kidneys. Better to get it from your diet. Not as much of a problem if taken in combination with vit D3 and K2, not sure why ?

I asked also and my doctor said the same thing about calcium. So we are making sure he’s getting it in his diet. We are getting a second opinion later this month regarding my husband’s future treatment of GCA as well as some concerns we have. We were very fortunate to be able to get an appointment with the Chief of Rheumatology.
