Re: Dexo scan

[Guest guest]

I used the Miacalcin for a few months. Didn't mind the nasal side effects, but I

couldn't live with the stiff neck/shoulders. I felt unsafe driving since I

could barely turn my head.

Don's been taking it with no side effect whatsoever.

Sue will jump in here with the latest studies, but it appears that the 3 months

I took it might be all that really helps with it, too. If a person tolerates

it, though, I'd go on doing it.

As it is, I'm doing 1 500mg calc (mine), 1 Tri Boron (Twin Lab) and 1

Ipriflavone 300mg four times each day. I am working on a single pill that will

have that same combo, so I'd take 4 pills per day vs the 12 I'm doing now. And

of course, that is doubled since what I do, Don does. And we take 6 EXTRA vit D

per day and our D levels are still low. That's 18 pills to try to save the

bones ALONE.

Dexascan anyone?
