Make sure you take the calcium citrate with vitamin D to enhance absorption. There are some liquid versions of calcium citrate and vitamin D that I have found at health food stores. Tend to cost a bit more, but more pleasant than the "horse pills" as another poster aptly described them.
Hope things prove with this condition or at the least don't get worse.
