Hi,
I freaked when the mdoc's office said I had no appointment for my yearly check up. They fit me in, but with an mdoc instead of the PA whom I am used to. I cried in front of the nurse. She kept asking what was wrong. I was not able to answer even simply questions. The dr was okay but annoyed me about my meds. He asked me if I take vitamins and then reminded me to take calcium and vit d. Calcium supplements are not recommended for someone like me on Verapamil -- A CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER.   Calcium negates the the mood stabilizing effects and other good effects of the Verapamil.I got out of there feeling miserable so I came home and took a long nap. 'Just woke up. Mair |

I am sorry that you cried...when I am overwhelmed I do that too... then people are too nice....makes me want to crawl under a rock. hang on to your hubby. ((((HUGS)))) bizi

Sorry you had a mix up. But I'm so glad they worked you in. I think the mdoc, needs a wake up call on meds though. He/she needs to read up on why things are given, and what you don't take with it. Sounds like you know it well. And thanks for the little bit on veraplimin. I didn't know that, and I take it too. But I have never taken a calcium extra. But some have been pushing it. So I'm so glad you made that point. Now I can state the reason why not. My husband is big on this stuff, and its not something I've done well on. So I don't want to start. Donna |

Last year my appointment was screwed up too.
I had vowed that I would find a new mdoc but I put it off and got distracted by other medical stuff. I've seen today's dr before. Today he was slightly less creepy than he was in the past. Mari |

Donna, Every once in a while I try to catch up on the current science about calcium supplements. I find the info confusing and think that the science is still catching up with itself. I think I can handle a small amount of extra calcium in supplements before the Verapamil starts to get effected. Also I think that Magnesium and D3 (sunlight) and exercise and hormones and all kinds of other stuff perhaps play a bigger role in our bone health than calcium does. I'll be glad when science can be more helpful. Mari |
