Alendronic Acid?
I'm new here but not on the PMR forum! Yesterday I had the result of my first ever Dexa scan: -3.6 so Osteoporosis it is☹️. Shock, horror! I have all the risk factors: 1 year on Prednisolone (now on 5mg), female age 72, always lowish body weight ( now 58 kgs), but never had a fracture, lots of exercise

DEXA Scan results
I just had my third DEXA Scan results and I am delighted, after 4 years of Prednisalone for PMR and a recent high dose for GCA. The results are described as very encouraging and above average for my age! I had thought that Alendronic Acid would be inevitable this time! I urge everyone to seek a bone

It is not Sunday - but I thought I would update you on my diet experiment
So, I went all out vegan on Sunday, I also stopped all oils including the Omega 3 red krill oil I have been taking for a couple of years, and other than a multivitamin and CalcD supplement stopped all other additions. Last Thursday, my Metoject Mtx dose went up slightly from 15ml to 17.5ml. On Sunday

Supplements and sulking...
Hi everyone... well 9 weeks into taking hydroxychoroquine I’m still having massive problems with my knees, so now on yet another course of steroids. I gave up drinking alcohol a week ago, I’ve just started swimming and trying to look after myself better - thought it would help but my knees are so sore

NTU Singapore scientists devise 'Trojan horse' approach to kill cancer cells without using drugs

DID ALPHA LIPOIC ACID LOWER YOUR THYROID LEVELS?
Good morning! I just came across several articles stating Alpha Lipoic Acid should not be taken by preclinical hypos, or hypos, by one, and another stating precautions and advice should be taken if on levothyroxine as it can lower its effects by a very significant amount adding, however, that it may

I need a new back.
Hi, I have had my telephone follow up appointment, ( for those of you who don't know, my clinic one was cancelled ) I have been told, that because of the current situation with Covid-19 it is not worth the risk to my health to bring me back to clinic for another six months.

Excruciating back pain
I’m waiting for my appointment to go through with gyny and have a scan on Wednesday. I’m on codeine and mefenamic acid. I’m very constipated lol. I’m still getting cramping and ovary pain. The pain has moved right across my lower back for the past week and it’s excruciating. Is this common?

Help with blood results
So, the endo is happy with my T3 and T4. Mid to upper range. However I still suffer from bloating, hair loss and fairly rapid pulse (90 bpm) . I take 50mcg levo and 1 grain Thai NDT. I had my iron checked in June 19. GP told me that my levels were ‘normal’. I’ve recently had the Mirena coil removed

Three months off...
Hi all. I've been a lurker here since I had some liver issues that were picked up from routine blood tests, with the usual culprits GGT, ALP, AST, ALT all raised. This was put down to fatty liver due to my high alcohol consumption, and rough liver texture on the ultrasound, by the hepatologist, based

Vitamins
I am now down to 1/2 of a 1mg prednisone after almost two and one half years. My only concern is my red blood cell count is still up . I am thinking of cutting back on my vitamin D. The doctor has me on 2000mg but I was also on 25mg of prednisone . I am thinking I may only need 1000 now. I have stopped

I've tried almost everything to get relief for my RLS. What else can I do?
I am an 84 year old male, living in eastern United States, and have been suffering with leg and foot problems for over 30 years. I have seen eight different Neurologists over the years, and several said that I have Post-Thalamic pain, RLS, and Peripheral Neuropathy. I have taken Lyrica, Duloxetine, Alpha

The Dr is going to give it a try! Started Synthroid yesterday!
Hi everybody, I’m new here and I posted 3 weeks ago saying that my dr didn’t want to give me Synthroid, but now he will! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Long story long, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto 15 years ago when I was 27 and never did anything about it. After reading a LOT here I realize that I’m not feeling good

Low Calcium
Hello, I don't know if this forum is the appropriate one, but I need to get a malabsorbsion mystery solved. I have just received a call from GP regarding blood test results. She mentioned that my calcium is still under range. She asked me if I eat high calcium food. I told her that I crave dairy products
