I've been prescribed SHELCAL D tablets, and I'm just wondering how effective they really are. I know my bones are pretty weak and my vitamin D level is 18.5. How long should I be taking this medication, and are there any side effects I should be aware of?

View allI'm a 24-year-old woman, and I'm about 5 feet tall. I'm really hoping to add a little extra height, maybe even 2 inches if possible. I've heard exercise might help, but I'm curious if there are any healthy alternatives. My parents aren't very tall either, so I feel like this might be a genetic issue. Is there any chance for growth at 24, or am I out of luck? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm really concerned because my wife has developed sugar in her 8th month of pregnancy. Her RBS is at 372, but everything else seems normal, including her urine tests. Can you give us any advice on how to manage this? We're really eager to make sure everything goes smoothly for her and the baby.
