Andrea,
I think if there is calcium in my blood test, I should tell it where to go. D3 helps the bones absorb calcium. K2 tells the calcium to go to the bones instead of clogging arteries. Vitamin A helps with extra absorption. And Vitamin E complex.

My doctors don’t push supplements, I ask at every appointment and they say less is more. I might have to play around on my own to see what helps me.

What does your myeloma doctor say? Usually a bisphophonate is recommended for us. I had Zometa for a couple of years. Drinking lots of water and weight bearing exercise like walking is a good idea. We all should get our vitamin d levels checked as well.

To lower calcium levels, especially in the context of multiple myeloma, consider the following treatments:

1. Increase Fluid Intake: Drinking extra fluids can help flush out excess calcium
2. Medications:
- Bisphosphonates: Aredia (pamidronate) and Zometa (zoledronic acid)
- Calcitonin: Miacalcin
- Denosumab: Xg Show Full Answer

- Denosumab: Xgeva
3. Intravenous Fluids: For more severe cases, IV fluids may be recommended.
4. Corticosteroids: These can help the body absorb less calcium and encourage the kidneys to remove more calcium.
5. Dialysis: In cases of renal failure, dialysis may be necessary.

Always consult your doctor for personalized advice and treatment options.

My Primary Care doctor told me to stop taking calcium and magnesium. I told him if I stop, I felt like I would die. This was a year before my diagnosis.
