Topic: Back pain

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

Topic: RE: Prenatal multivitamin

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

Topic: RE: Completely OT: Not for the weak or sensitive.

Hi Nancy. I've seen this post a few times over the years (though not until 2012 or so) whenever I google my sister Joane, or her killer. I'm very sorry for what you went through. It must have been terrifying! I hope you've had support. Any chance you'd be willing to write a Victim impact statement for the parole board?

Sincerely,

Kathy MacNeill (née Dutrisac)
