Am I entitled to see an endo specialist even though the laparoscopy showed nothing?
I am feeling really down at the moment because I don't seem to be getting any answers. Sounds petty extreme but I have been in tears about it all. :( I had a laparoscopy with a general gyne last year and no endo was found and I was sent home with no follow up. I just got told I will be fine now because

Hi. I was diagnosed with PMR at the end of January and been taking 20mg of Prednisone. Yesterday started reducing to 15 mg by alternating between 3 and then 4 tablets alternately. Dr recommended taking alendronic acid? Not keen on this idea. Any thoughts?

Now diagnosed with PA
Since my first post on here I've been diagnosed with Pernicious anaemia as the cause of my very low b12 level (58) I received my 6 loading doses and was told they would be every 3 months thereafter. As I had some of the neurological problems I asked if I could have more of the loading doses, the doctor

A sleep concern
Hi Everyone, I haven't been here in a while, it's usually the case when things are going well. But recently I've developed this bad sleeping habit. (?) What's confusing is it came out of the blue. Something similar has happened before when my anxiety was bad ( I don't feel it's bad right now tho). As

Had anyone had a bad reaction to Alendronate_
I was prescribed Alendronate at the beginning of the year when I started taking it once a week. Since then I have had increasing pain mainly in my thigh muscles, groins and shins. It has become so bad that I have difficulty in walkking. I mentioned the possibility of a connection between these pains

1st Rheumatologist appointment and instructions etc.
After two and a half years with PMR, my new GP referred me to a rheumy, to get a second opinion she said. I had the appointment last Thursday and was told by the rheumy that it was because I wasn't decreasing my pred. fast enough. I have been on 5mg since just before Christmas as I had quite a bit of

Unsure what to do
Hi, I’m taking Alendronic acid weekly at the moment. I was thinking of getting bisphosphonates by twice yearly injection instead. I’d love to know if anyone else have done this, and if there are any benefits for taking it this way.

What is going on
Two years ago I was diagnosed with PMR. Went down usual route of tapering . Managed eventually to get from 20 mg to 5 mg . Went very slowly but have now hit the buffers at 5 mg ...did get to 4 mg but went up again due to increased pain. I recently had a dreadful cough / virus which put me in bed for

5-HTP - A Trigger?
I take quite a few supplements. These days before I buy anything new I Google the name of the supplement and AFib to see if I get any legitimate hits. Wanting to try a new sleep aid that has 25 mg of 5-HTP I was surprised to see a few references that said 5-HTP was a trigger for some. Because it helps

Hi I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in September 2018 following a Dexa scan. The main issue is my right hip but other areas classed as osteopenia. I completed steroid treatment for PMR but due to this and menopause my bone density has been affected. I took Alendronic Acid for a year and stopped it in

Will the tooth fairy visit?
Well ....finally had my tooth out today at a London hospital. ( because of taking alendronic acid it had to be a dental surgeon) I was gowned up and a cloth put over my eyes which was quite disorientating. Took 40 mins to get the b....y thing out and I got a bit sweaty and shaky. I’d been told to double

Trying to deny what is real
One of the things I value more than anything else is honesty, I hate deceit. That makes this post so hard to type. When I was in hospital last year one of the biggest issues we processed was growing up in a family where my Dad and an older brother were pedophiles. Even typing that is hard. Unfortunately
