Re the issue of too much calcium, that was a definite worry of mine so I decided to get my calcium entirely from food & I was very happy to find out how easy it has been. And by the way I am 86 with one prior fracture & awful bone numbers1

To start with I have een taking Ensure Max Protein once a day in the morning & that is 650 mg right there!
I then made a list of all the foods that I that contain calcium that I already consure or couldeasily consume every day. Fortified orange juice/almond milk/fortified 2% milk & soy milk etc. From there I went to a whole bunch of things like cheese, nuts, sardines, yogurts, etc etc but the point is it is tremendously easy to get to 1200 mg! And I feel better about that 1200 mg since it is all FOOD!

I believe that calcium from fortified products is no different from calcium from supplements (pills). Maybe absorption is better, who knows.

Hi Windy! Am still waiting for BCBS to get back to me on the Tymlos. What about Medicare? Should I be contacting them too?
