Advice on treatment for osteoporosis.
Hi, I’m new here and this is my first post. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2015 after I sustained a right hip fracture following a fall. DEXA scan showed T.score -3.1 spine; -2.6 femoral neck; -2.9 left hip. I was started on Adcal-D3 and alendronic acid. I stopped the Alendronate after 6 months

Alendronic Acid 70 mg tablets.
Does anyone have any thoughts on Alendronic Acid tablets? My rheumatologist wants me to take it, but for some reason, I just have a really strong aversion to taking it. I keep looking at it but can`t bring myself to take it.

Pain management options while waiting to be seen...
Hi I have had adenomyosis confirmed and Fibroids (one of which is 7cm) summer 2019. I’m mid 40s, two children (adopted). Please bear with me, I waffle 😁 I am in constant pain most days. Gradually getting worse since Jan 2019. Periods have been horrific for many a decade from a pain point of view and

Sorry First Zoladex injection.. Not Zoledronic acid, was given wrong info.
Hello everyone, As written in the title I've had my first injection yesterday, and wowsers did it hurt! Anyone else who has had it too, how was it for you? Is it meant to feel sore next day? Hope everything is good and well with everyone. Take care Sami 😊

Undiagnosed Endo?
Hi everyone I’m new to this forum and looking for some advice :) I’ve been battling for years now trying to get some answers. I’ve suffered with very painful and heavy periods since I first started when I was 11 which were eased slightly when I went on the pill at 16. I’m now 26 and the past few years

Perfect periods to misery in 1 year. Will I be taken seriously?
Sorry for long post. I came off the pill (Ovranette, which I'd been on for ~7 years) as I thought it was making my skin bad. I was fine for about 6 months, and then my periods got weird. The time between them was becoming more erratic, and my bleeds lasted longer (10 days as opposed to normal 4-5).

lower back pain and right hip pain especially lying in bed
I had a DEXA scan just over 2 years ago as part of breast cancer treatment. This identified I had osteoporosis in my spine, I'm not sure of the scores or exactly where but I was told my hips are fine. I have had back problems on and off for years but generally with a visit to a chiropractor and exercise

Advice on meds that are prescribed with Pred
I’m now on my third week of 25mg Pred as a recently diagnosed PMR sufferer, and likely to be on it for some time, so Consultant has also prescribed me omeprazole 20mg daily, evacal D3 1500 mg twice a day and alendronic acid 70mg once a week, all to help with the side effects of Pred! Does everyone else

Sleep aid that seems to be working
Like a lot of us with a head injury, I suffer from sleep problems. I doze off intermittently at random times during the day and then at night time. I only have a few hours sleep. Over the years, I have tried all the usual advice - no drinks late at night, reduce "screen" time, dark room, cold room,

In the process of being diagnosed
My periods have been getting progressively worse over the years with the pain becoming more and more frequent and more intense. My period pain was so bad last month I nearly called an ambulance. I was vomiting, passing out and no painkillers touched the sides. I went to the doctors a few days later

Is it now PMR?
Last week I was finally after 5 years told by the consultant that I was cured of GCA. My blood tests were perfect and my recent DEXA scan was good. I have been off pred since August but remained on Methotrexate which I was told I could stop together with Alendronic Acid. As you can imagine, I was

Dizzies??
Just joined up here, so glad to see all kinds of issues addressed re PBC (incl. prognosis; my doc just says "You're healthy"). I am on Ursodiol for the PBC and diuretics (for ascites), and have had one banding experience (for varices) which turned into internal bleeding and blood transfusions. I am

Generic ursodeoxycholic acid
Hi, when I went to pick up my prescription this week, I checked it to make sure it was correct and saw that it wasn't the normal Ursoflak. I asked the pharmacist why there was a generic one instead of Ursofalk and she told me the doctors have told them to give out generic medicine unless otherwise

Do I agree to take AA?
I’m going to see my doctor on Wednesday and I have a feeling he’s going to try persuade me to take Alendronic acid. It was recommended for me 2 years ago and but I declined due to the scary side effects I’d read about on here. My latest DEXA scan shows that my bone density has deteriorated more but I

0630 no rain to load the car, Yippee. Although I will be just an observer, no humping for me, going to start off the right way. A whole Carphone Warehouse carrier bag full to the brim with my meds! Plus a first aid kit in preparation for any skin tears, that I am now very prone to getting without even
