Further Update
Hi Following on from my previous update, I have now had a conversation with my GP regarding my follow up Dexa Scan result and it did not go well. The advice was still to take AA and this was put across very strongly. My GP is very good and I know she has my best interest at heart but I still declined

Medication help
I've just had some recent bloods done and my calcium is low so I've been prescribed
Adcal
D3
to take twice daily, would anyone know whether I can take these tablets at the same time as my levothyroxine as there is nothing on the box or leaflet to mention any thing and I rung the pharmacy to ask them

Hashimoto’s and T3 conversion problem
Free T3 is 4.0 and top range is 4.4Free T4 is 1.82 and top range is 1.77 Reverse T3 is 25 down from 40 top range is 24 TPO is 15(0-35) Does this say I have Hashimoto’s and don’t convert from T4 to T3 well? Hormone doc gave me Cytomel. I’m on Testosterone shots and vitamin D3 7,000 IU’s daily liquid

New GP
Thought I would post an update as today I had a meeting with my new GP. She was very knowledgeable about PMR, had done a thesis on PMR while working in Edinburgh years ago. She praised this forum very highly and congratulated me on finding it so promptly, said the experts on this forum would keep me

What supplements do folk use for PMR ?
I was wondering what supplements people use with PMR to help both the condition and to counteract the pred side effects? I’m coming up to the first anniversary of diagnosis and have tapered to about 6mg which I can’t get below at the moment. I supplement with Fultium D3 daily and a cod liver oil capsule

New member requiring advice
I have been recently diagnosed with PMR and have been on 15mg Prednisolone for 5 weeks together with Omeprazole, Adcal and Alendronic Acid. Any advice on do's and don'ts would be really helpful, in particular about diet as I don't want to gain weight. Incidentally I find that taking the Prednisolone

Indigestion
Hi I’m two and a half years into PMR and now tapered to 9.5 mg Pred. Quite suddenly I am getting attacks of quite fierce indigestion which seem to come after taking AdCal. Is it that or my body getting as fed up with Pred as I am (😀)? Has anyone else found this an issue?

Health update
Hello I have not posted for sometime but not because I have forgotten my fellow PMR sufferers. Since I stopped my steroid treatment at the beginning of November 2018, family issues, including a bereavement have kept me very busy.

Stomach acid effects on oral Bisphosphonates
Has anyone got experience of how Bisphosphonates are affected by stomach acid? Could reduced stomach acid cause unresponsive esophageal valves that then leak stomach contents after taking Bisphosphonates? Presumably, Bisphosphonates are tested on healthy volunteers, not those people with coexisting

What do you think?
Hi everyone, I had a Bone scan yesterday and commented that my Dr put me on Alendronic tablets back in August and although I questioned her at the time she reassured me I needed them. The hospital were very surprised as they suggested Dr should have waited for Bone scan results as Adcal would be sufficient

Hot flushes and night sweats
Hi all, I’m 35 and have very low AMH. I had an ICSI cycle cancelled before egg collection earlier this year because I didn’t respond to the medications. We’re having a break until the new year when we’re hoping to go for a private cycle, but recently I’ve been having hot flushes and night sweats. I

She prescribed 15 mg mxt along with prednisolone, plus the usual alendronic acid,
adcal
D3
, folic acid, lansoprazole. I saw this consultant a second time in March then she sadly retired. Everything went to plan in blood tests and drugs nurse appointments, then in April a locum took over.

Vitamin D3 spray recommendations?
Happy Monday all! Is there anyone out there who can recommend a good vitamin D3 spray or a place to get VD3 Injections? I’ve been VitD deficient for years now and I just can’t seem to get it raised enough or even sustain the slight raise that I do get. Any help/suggestions would be oh so welcome! R xx
