Vitamin D and calcium reminder

[Guest guest]

This is just a reminder to all of you to take your calcium and vitamin

D per your doc's instructions. In fact, I would recommend you have

your doc check your vitamin D level at your next appt., especially

following the recent announcements that the population is generally low

in vit D AND given the fact that it's pretty useless to take calcium

without sufficient vit D. My doc tested mine six months ago, and I had

dangerously low level of Vit D. She put me on a script of Vit D ($20

for a year's worth), and last month my level tested within normal range.

Also, if you're over 30 and have taken a ton of steroids, I encourage

you to ask your doc about a bone density test. I was diagnosed with

osteoporosis at 38. Thank you, prednisone!
