The pharmacist is not entirely wrong in saying the medication will only work if you take calcium. I'm not sure what type exactly it is, but most medications will regulate the absorption of calcium, and so if you aren't getting any, it can't do a whole lot.
I'm not C so I really don't know what advice to give about how to take the calcium. Have you tried taking less, and gotten comfortable at a smaller amount? Vitamin D would help a lot as well, just gotta search around for the Vitamin D - only supplements (I can't find them anywhere).
The only other treatments are hormone therapy, and exercise (both light weight-lifting and aerobic help).
Hopefully someone else on here can be a bit more help. Goodluck, Kat
