Unable to take Statins, major cramping in legs. Switched to Welchol. Need more calcium when I was only taking 3 calcium tablets, now taking 4 and I have no cramping at all. It states that calcium will be depleted by this medication so I am taking more, and more Vitamin D3. Now everything is working fine. Nails are stable. Other problems have disappeared too.
