No.. they never did that. I was just warned to take calcium supplements because it can thin your bones. Anyway I didn't want any of that so I switched. I am glad it works so well for you :)

I generally take Ibuprofen most of the time, with the occasional alternating with Tylenol. I developed Anklyosing Splondylitis when I was 12 or 13 years old, and that has become a staple of my daily life to help control the joint pain that happens a couple weeks every month. I have also started taking weight pills to help with increasing my metabolism, as I gained weight due to one of the things I took to help bulk up my back to help support the bone structure. Hoping it helps in the long run, with pain and other issues. :)

The only medication which I know I do take sometimes is; ibuprofen, Motrin IB, just to relieve the stress and reduce the severity of headache to feel better.
