Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation in Thalassemia
Andy Battaglia:
Dore,
The one thing I would suggest is raising the vitamin D dose. 800 is quite low. 2000 IU daily might be more effective for you. Take the calcium in magnesium in a 2:1 ratio if possible. Add zinc, too if you don't already take it. It is very important for the bones and the one thing recommended proven to help build bones.
The bone drugs seem to work well for some people. Some can't handle the side effects, while some do fine.

The same happens with me and it's since so many years :( because of damn weakness, low hb and breathless.
I too do the same.
Same pinch

Dori,
For taking precise dosage of powder, u can use spoon used by sheaf as it comes in so many size as sheaf also need to use cooking iteams in precise quantity. You can find some cooking spoon at Amazon.
Hope you will find right one
Dori:
Thank you all for your help. Now I really must restart this therapy.
I really hope I will not experience side effects. Which side effects are there? I wrongly thought jaw problems were not listed as side effects but apparently they are. I will start somewhere during summer and I will receive it with big breaks in between.
Nomad:
Dori, be sure you have checked and managed all you teeth problems before starting Aclasta or Zometa. One should not have kind of big dentist "actions" like teeth extraction for 3 months bevore and after the infusion. This to avoid necrosis in the jaw bone...
