Guest guest Posted May 8, 1999 Report Share Posted May 8, 1999 Still around, been lurking..... Another article in this issue of Quest, is titled: The Core of the Problem: Too Much Calcium in the Muscle Cell, old timers to this internet family (old timers -- two years old??) may recall my daughers experience with excess calcium, in the forms of calcium carbonate (aka Tums). Her GI doc had RX Calcium-carb to increase her stomachs PH level and within weeks she went into renal failure. On occasion, I've read some post where certain over the counter medication/vitamins are recommended. The GI doc indicated that the amount of calcium carbonate we were giving , was the same as taking two Tums tablets.... those over the counter medications .... can pack a punch! Not to alarm anyone, but (and this is a big but) .. I would list excess calcium as one of the reasons was not able too recover from a surgical procedure. A quote from the article; " High calcium levels are especially damaging to the mitochondria " . For those not familar with the Quest magazine, it is published by the Muscular Dystrophy Association. " Quest " is free to those with any of the 40 neuromuscular diseases in the MDA program, or subscription are 12.00 per year. I return to lurking. Joe A.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 1999 Report Share Posted May 8, 1999 Hi Skip, Thanks for that editorial review. I've been carrying around my Quest magazine all over the place trying to read it in bits and pieces as I have time. I especially wanted to read the Central Core disease article since it mentioned abnormal mitochondria as being a contributor, but as of yet all I've been able to do is skim the article. Thanks for the synopsis. , isn't Central Core Myopathy your diagnosis? You should check the article out on-line if you don't get it at home. Since you have MD, you are eligible to get the magazine for free at home..FYI. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your contributions are so wonderful, in lurkin you deprive us all! There is a Researcher in , Ca. that is doing work on mito disease & calcium deposits in the brain. He was part of the Nobel Meeting in 1995 and worked/works with Dr Lars Ernster & Rolf Luft ( in my opinion mito-disease should be called Luft'd disease- this guy really contributed!). I am sure you will hear more from this U.C. Professor in the future. Lynnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
