some of this pain. I have manage to work 4 days a week and surviving.....it

is not good but I am much better than when I started in the group ......

have been so constipated the past 3 weeks or so........what would be the one

causing it??

I take:

multi vit once a day (was 2 times a day)

calcium with d 1200 mg's 2 times a day

super B vit

B-12 1500

vit D 50,000 iu (prescription strength)

Lyrica 500 mg's

Prednisone 5 mg's (down from 15 mg's)

Calcium and Lyrica are the culprits since they both cause

constipation. Most likely you should start taking magnesium to

balance your GI system. I take 400mg magnesium with each meal and my

calcium. Also use Miralax which helps too.
