Taking hours to fall asleep
Gabapentin has controlled my RLS for last year or so. I only take 600 mg at bedtime for last 3/4 months now. I have recently started having difficulty falling asleep (no RLS, just wide awake for 3/4 hours). I thought about asking for a sleep aid from GP but didn't want to take anything that would aggrevate

Medication
I have a doctor appointment to discuss increasing my medication & possibly take a sleep aid. I’m currently taking 20 MG of Escitalopram but have not tried a sleep aid. I’m really nervous about my appointment tomorrow.

Advice on P1NP test please....
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis of the spine 2 years ago and have (after lots of deliberation) agreed I should start taking alendronic acid. I also have hypothyroidism and when I saw my endocronologist (who happens to also be a osteoporosis specialist) he said I should get a P1NP marker test done before

When PMR Goes Away
When first diagnosed with PMR and feeling like I was never going to be myself again, some friends, acquaintances and even a couple medical professionals assured me the diagnosis was the best of the myalgia’s to have to deal with because it is the one that actually goes away. If you do some research,

what is the risk from ALA?
What is this community’s take on ALA, as found in flaxseed oil? Is there risk for prostate cancer? If there is “risk”, is that solely an association with increased PSA? i.e. do significant amounts of flaxseed oil cause a change only in one’s baseline PSA? i.e. does it promote the [i]

Which tests do your providers recommend annually?
Hello Everyone, I was diagnosed in 2018 and have had no issues, as bloodwork abnormalities led to my diagnosis, rather than symptoms. Fortunately for me, after I began taking Ursodiol, I have had normal bloodwork also. However, I've bounced around providers, in part due to the pandemic, and in part

Prostrate Cancer treatment ADT
HiI am being treated for PC. After diagnose I was put on ADT treatment. This stops testosterone production. Had a bone scan and found I have osteopenia. I am taking a calcium citrate with vitamin D. Also once per week Alendronate 70mg. Has anyone else been in the same boat? Thanks

Fibroids and Norethisterone, bleeding and spotting
Hi all, I know you've each got enough to deal with, but I've been having a difficult few months and am after some advice. In February I was diagnosed with multiple fibroids. One of them is very large. I've had several ultrasounds and a hysteroscopy booked in for this week. My periods were very heavy

Hello Haz58, I’m sorry you are having such a rotten time in sorting out the medications which you can tolerate. I could not take Azapriothine or Methotrexate but have settled reasonably happily with a daily routine of Bisoprolol, Levothyroxine, Amlodipine, Prednisolone, Ursodeoxycholic Acid, Losartan

Alendronic acid and raised Potassium levels
Hi I have been on Alendronic acid for 4 mths now. I have - 3 lumbar spinal osteoporosis but also have chronic kidney deficiency. My past two blood tests are showing raised 5.7 mmols/l and I’m wondering if it’s linked to my Alendronic acid?

Stopping Alendronic Acid
I've been taking Alendronic Acid along with pred (on the insistence of GPs and rheumy) for 2 years. At last I've managed to get a Dexa scan and they told me that my bones are good/normal and that there is no need to take the AA. Do I need to taper or can I just stop?Also wouldn't it make sense to do

How To Make Melatonin Lotion : A More Efficient Way Of Getting Melatonin Compared To Oral Melatonin And A Surprise Finding
A major problem I see with oral melatonin is the very poor bioavailability of oral melatonin, thought to be around 3% in humans as discussed here : https://bmcpharmacoltoxicol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40360-016-0052-2#:~:text=Elimination%20half%2Dlives%20following%20oral,between%20the%20volunteers
