You’ve done a great job advocating for yourself. It pays to do research and second opinions are very valuable especially when you’re questioning what the first doctor is saying. Glad you’re doing well.
I looked up vivactin that I took 25 years ago and it is calcium carbonate. I will definitely look into calcium citrate. Thanks for the info! 🥰

@californiazebra Another funny story - but somehow logical.............
I had the big calcium carbonate (by the way look up and see how it is made)........but, I put about 3 or 4 saucers on the table and put a calcium carbonate pill in. The fluids I put in the saucers were sparkling wine, coke, water, and coffee.
I waited about 24 hours...............well, it just didn't dissolve. So this clunky stuff just couldn't logically dissolve in your stomach......I told the docs that, but maybe they don't like patients that think. Ha.
