Trying to choose supplements carefully

@kfhoz I didn't mean that no one should take calcium supplements, I was just sharing my experience. If you want to take calcium or if your doctor tells you that you should, then definitely you should do so. I'm not judging anyone here. Everyone has to do what they feel is best for themselves!

@lylii I take SO many vitamins. I take a calcium but I also take magnesium because my internist sister said for the calcium to be absorbed correctly, I should take magnesium. Low dose. I have my calcium checked in blood tests regularly. I also take 25mcg of Vitamin D, B12, C, plus a daily vitamin for Seniors.
I have lost so much weight. I don’t have an appetite anymore for some reason. My PCP is always worried about my weight loss and acts like I might have undiagnosed cancer. My usual normal weight was always 140 lbs.
After 28 days in a horrid rehabilitation nursing facility for breaking my shoulder and two vertebrae, where the food was impossible to eat, I lost 20 pounds. Plus I had dental students make dentures that were impossible to eat with. I made a mistake doing that. Lost more weight, then I got some good dentures.
I live alone and hate to cook now. I can’t seem to get above 105 lbs. I look sick. I try to eat fattening foods, but that doesn’t even work. Ice cream every night before bed. I try to keep my bad cholesterol down by taking fiber supplements. I have always had to watch my cholesterol.
