dexa scan, how often?
I have osteoporosis, had a dexa scan going on for two years ago, and because I am rather uncertain if I should agree to another yearly dose of
aclasta
, (Have had one), I would like to know how my bones are doing.

Calcium supplements
I have had one infusion of
Aclasta
, due to have another one but feeling dubious about it. In Professor Dasgupta's webinar last year , I have written down that he said there is no need to take supplements, and he encourages a good intake of calcium naturally, i.e. through dairy etc.

PMR following osteoporosis treatment with Aclasta
I was diagnosed with atypical PMR in April 2019, a couple of months after symptoms first appeared, which was a few weeks after getting an infusion of
Aclasta
(zolodronic acid) for osteoporosis .

What to take to discontinue Prolia safely and for how long?
Neither of the GPs I've seen thinks
Aclasta
is a good idea due to the bad allergic reaction I had to Prolia after the 4th injection as the
Aclasta
infusion would be in my system for a year and there would be nothing I could do to control side effects if they occurred.

The onward journey
The suggestion for treatment are Prolia or
Aclasta
because of my acid reflux, has anyone any experience with the products. I’m a seventy five year old male. This is a great forum and proved essential with information when reducing prednisone and Coping with flares

Aclasta infusion.
This is my 4th day following zolendronic acid infusion and I thought I would share how this has been for me. I was very resistant to having further treatment having stopped taking alendronic acid due to side effects. However, after recent DEXA scan showed fracture in T9 and after much discussion I

Best treatment for Osteoporosis in the hips.
All the medicines (prolia/teriparatide/
Aclasta
) works works magically to increase bone density in AP spine but not the hips. Can Biphosphonates like Reclast or
Aclasta
be taken for more than 3 years?

Osteoporosis treatment
Which is the better option for biphosphonates treatment 1) Alendronae (Fosammax) or Zolendronic Acid (
Aclasta
)? Is the effects of Prolia (denosumab) leave the body quickly and generally disappear after one stops taking them?

Can you lose the efficiency of bisphosphonates with time? Can the body get used to them after many uses and then not getting help from them?
I have been using bisphosphonates orally every 4 years ( that would be 5-6 times during 20 years) and after that 5 years ago I had one
Aclasta
infusion. Can the body get used to them so they lose their efficiency? So in total I would say 7 times in 27 years.

Dentist nightmare
My dentist would not extract it due to the
aclasta
infusion. The Consultants, nurses etc all quite happy to prescribe these biphosphonates but they don’t inform you of the possible problems with teeth. I was in agony and very depressed waiting for the extraction.

Prescribed Prolia
I know this is a different drug but I had a very bad reaction to
Aclasta
some years ago and am reluctant to put drugs in my body that are there for months. I currently take Vit K2 (MK7 from natto extract) 100mcg daily, Hidroferol (calcifediol) monthly and magnesium.

Aclasta Infusion
Having been diagnosed with PMR at the end of 2014, my Rheumatologist prescribed an
Aclasta
infusion (bone protection) a year ago. The reaction I had to it was horrendous and lasted two days, far worse than the "flu-like" symptoms that had been mentioned.

Strontium ranelate stopped working
and I would be interested to hear if anyone has experience of another good drug, I don't want oral bisphosphenates, and was looking at Prolia or
Aclasta
. Thank you for listening.
