Caltrate symptoms and conditions

My mother was prescribed this horrible drug for prevention purposes about a year ago. She has experienced severe hair loss, unexplained cough and sore throat pain, flu-like symptoms with fever, severe headaches. Doctors prescribed sinus medication and hydrocortisone shots in the scalp for hair loss and occasional shoulder pain that was explained by her doctors to be arthritis (at times severe). She was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and treated with temodar and radiation for brain cancer. Before fosomax, she was a very healthy 63 year woman with no health issues whatsoever. She went for annual physical and was prescribed this medication. In the last few months, her doctors increased dose of Caltrate-D from 600mg a day to 2400mg/day because of cancer treatment. Immediately, she began to experience severe neck and shoulder pain on the left side. In a few weeks, it has spread to both shoulders and upper arms. She is unable to wash lower back, raise arms to comb hair, lift herself up from sitting position, brush her teeth. A few weeks ago, she experienced the sensation of an abscessed tooth. A dentist told her several teeth would need a root canal. She has pain in upper arms that feel like burning fire. She is getting weaker in the arms. Pain is spreading to the hips. I pray this doesn't go any further and will reverse after we stop this dangerous drug. Has anyone shown signs of improvement after stopping this drug? How long did it take to see improvement? What if anything can you do for the pain and sore muscles and joints?

I am going to have my Mirena moved tomorrow and I am sooooooooooooo ready to get it out. I have not had a sex drive AT ALL. My period has been on for about 2 months now no-stop with spotting. I got it in Nov of 2007 I was excited b/c I didn't have to pop a pill. But getting the IUD was the worse decision I think I have ever made. I just want to get it out and start bck on bc pills b/c I don't want anything else that has to be inserted in me or anything that I have to insert myself. I have been constantly tired regardless of how many energy drinks I have and despite how many vitamins I take. Please do your research before having the iud placed. My husband is excited that I am getting it out b/c he said maybe he can actually get some loving without me saying "I'm still on my period" lol. It is constant spotting. I have had a million bacteria infections from it. It did work wonders for my menstrual cramps tough. Before the iud my cramps with my cycle were like labor pains but with the iud they were very mild. So I am not looking forward to having severe cramps again but I am excited that maybe I can be horny again.....lol!!!!!!!!! I found this website by doing a google search. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me having these problems but now I see it's most women who have it inserted. So I am going through with my decision 100%. I will leave a update in a month after I see if things get back to normal.

I took one Caltrate Plus and I got flushed and BP went from 130 to 180...Had to take a fast acting med to lower my BP...I have taken Rolaids with calcium, so I know I am not sensitive to calcium..Do any of the added minerals affect kidney function or adrenal gland??
