Hi
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or comments about this. Yesterday I took my mother for a blood test to check her calcium levels (amongst other things) before she starts infusions for osteoporosis. She takes big calcium tablets on a daily basis. Because her bones are so bad she must not be very good on the uptake of calcium in her system.
I am interested in the results of the blood test because if her calcium levels are high this might be affecting her mental state and this might explain some of her symptoms.
She is currently undergoing assessment from the Memory Clinic people who want to do a few extra checks because my mother's case is not straightforward. Also we have seen some of my mother's symptoms come and go.
Does anyone else have thoughts or experience of this?
Thanks
