Re: Calcium/Vit D with Fosamax??
Tricia,
There are some new studies indicating caution with calcium supplements, fyi, however I take a bisphosphonate in conjunction with my 5000IU of Vit D per day. I also take strontium for my bone health. In my opinion, based on review of the research available to me continuation of your Vit D supplementation and modest calcium supplementation is order. Most docs are embarrassingly ignorant of nutrition.
I am going to take a few shots of Whiskers to send to you. We'll have to post our boys photos side by side to show the others how we have twin kitties.
