Topic: Anyone attending Orientation at Humber on October 1?

My referral was in July and had a call earlier this week inviting me to attend orientation on Tuesday October 1st, just looking to see if anyone else from here will be there as well?

Topic: RE: Prenatal multivitamin

that's absolutely right - we all take them - men and women. All it means is there are larger doses and more vitamins than regular multivitamins and as we are all experiencing malabsorption you need heavier vitamin doses. There is nothing inherently "feminine" about them. Nothing that will affect tetesterone etc - just larger doses of what we need.

Topic: Back pain

Can anyone recommend a good physiotherapist, chiropractor or a massage therapist that would help. I'm in the west GTA.

You are correct,,, that is what our team told us to take. I buy the Costco prenatal vitamins and my blood work has been good ever since surgery 10 months ago. Meg is right that they just have a few extra nutrients over a regular multi vitamin so I'd follow the instructions they gave you.

That's what I take -- it has more iron per pill than regular multivitamins. Some people choose to take regular multis and an extra iron but you should definitely check with the clinic if you want to do something different. It also really depends on your blood work and how your levels track over time. Recently my iron has dropped so I've also added Feramax iron.

Topic: RE: calcium options?

I do the same thing. I just buy Calcium Citrate at Costco and chew up the tablets and them have a small drink to wa**** down. I can't do liquid anything.

I just over 12 years out and I still follow this basic regimen:

AM - chewable multi, vitamin C, Vitamin D3, B12 sublingual

Mid morning - Calcium Citrate 500 mg

Mid afternoon - Calcium Ctrate 500 mg

Dinner time - chewable multi, vitamin D3

Before bed - Calcium Citrate 500 mg
