Very true Sally.

I take the combo Vitamin pill. Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc. Then Vitamin D and B-12 and some others also. I take the RDA amount or a little more. I don't take huge amounts of any of them. All are taken on the advice of my MS Specialist. The reason is because of my 20+ years of using oral steroids on and off. And a few times IVSM.
I did have a bone density test recently, so far so good. These Vitamin/Minerals are good for the bones especially with age and steroid use. Always ask your doctor first before taking anything. Even Vitamins can interfere with some medication you may be taking. Some vitamins and/or Herbs are bad for MS.
Magnesium is good but if you take too much, diarrhea will result.

I am sure you have heard of "Milk of Magnesia". The laxative.
