I'm 47 years old and started getting flare-ups in my early thirties. It's required surgery in my toes my knees my wrists... I am 3 weeks into the worst flare-up of my life, and I'm about done living this life. There's zero effective relief other than death.

@jamessimpson9690 Calcium supplements might not be directly linked to pseudogout, but pseudogout, which is caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals, involves calcium metabolism. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider about your specific situation. They can advise whether calcium supplements are appropriate or if they might exacerbate your condition. Managing pseudogout typically involves medications and lifestyle adjustments, so professional guidance is key.

Should calcium supplements be avoided if you have pseudogout?
