Hey Annie,

Yup...I take 1500 mgs of calcium and 1000 mcg of vitamin D3...I find it difficult timing the supplements with the mestinon, though...It's so annoying because the calcium can't be taken within 3-hours of any other meds. because they compete for absorption...I usually take it right before bed, but I also take mestinon SR, so this often results in morning weakness...argh!

I recently mentioned getting tested for Celiac's with the doc. but he agreed that the prednisone would prolly make the test negative, so I'm gonna wait until I'm off of it to be tested..I'm not really having any GI issues other than acid reflux and some constipation here and there...

I can't believe you got a staph infection! That must have been so scary- I"m glad that you got through it and were able to get of off the prednisone...Were you on the prednisone for MG?
