Hello everyone. Just to say I had my covid vaccination two days ago (Sat 27th Feb) and I've been ok. 🙂 I'm currently on 11mg prednisolone, Alendronic Acid, Propanolol, Atorvastatin and Calci-D. Yesterday my arm felt slightly sore at the point of the injection and also a little achey, but nothing

I had first Prolia last August and I just had second. I did feel very achy for a number of weeks after the first. I have just googled and seen alarming things like Infections with Prolia / rebound fractures/ lots of problems. By the way , only on it as I found Alendronic acid hard to comply

Has anyone here had Prolia ( Denosumab ) as they kept forgetting to take Alendronic acid . Prolia is a 6 monthly injection. I have been googling and become very alarmed. I certainly wont have it again. I would be grateful if anyone who has had it could share their experiences.

Wish I'd found this forum earlier, thank you to all for helpful advice and comments. I was diagnosed in Jan 2019 with PMR and my GP def thought I had GCA leading up to that (terrible migraine like continuous headaches, sickness, light sensitivity and massive weight loss - couldn't eat anything really

Hello all I new to the site and was wondering if there is any info you could help me with regarding pain management my Dr has just prescribed alendronic acid but I’m unsure after reading reviews about taking it. Also I have a strange burning sensation going on in my left hip area that goes down to my

I said I'd write this post as it may or may not help anyone considering taking this medication to make a decision. I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis in 2016, having being diagnosed coeliac in 2015. My t score at the time was -2.5 in my Spine. I also had osteopenia in my hips. I was advised then to go

I’m writing this for my mother and apologies in advance for the lengthy explanation. My mother was diagnosed with PMR in November. We think she probably had it for sometime but as my father was receiving full time palliative care at home we were not as aware of her health issues as my dad was so poorly

I am investigating about HRT and have been reading lots of good things about helping with osteoporosis. I am thinking about trying HRT as I have post menopausal issues and to help with OP. However my GP insists that after 50, it's of zero use. I have found good studies and even the ROS recommend it

Following on from my post a month ago, this is where I am now. Continued with 10 mg daily until I reached 6 weeks, then reduced to 9 mg, which is where I am now. My Dr wants me to continue to taper slowly by 1 mg every 6-8 weeks. Dr prefers to focus on symptoms rather than blood tests. I asked if

I am today posting, to give hope to others on tapering plans! After 4 years of first GCA followed by two bouts of PMR, my third attempt of tapering , continues to be promising. I chalk off a new week every Wednesday on my calendar and I have reached the ten week mark. That is ten weeks of no prednisolone

Your thoughts, advice and perhaps your sympathy, would be greatly appreciated please. I'm sure my invitation to have the vaccine is imminent and I'm worried. I've debated with myself for weeks about the best course of action and I'm going round in circles. The last time I was vaccinated was in 1991

Need pain med advice. GP Doc finally put me on Percocet -- which is way too weak to do much good. Have bone mets for almost 2 years from femurs to neck, and sometimes excruciating pain. Starting Hospice soon as my MO discharged me. (Have Braca 2 gene, and last med -- Lynparza -- lost its effectiveness

Spine -3.1 Femur -1.8 (I think they said total femur -1.6) After being told by a GP last week that I was borderline, "my" GP told me today that he thinks I should start alendronic acid immediately for 3 years. (I am 55). It is scaring the hell out of me if I am honest. His reasoning was that, if I

Hi all I received a letter from my rheumatologist this week I saw him just before Christmas. He suspected that I may have rheumatoid arthritis as well as PMR but my blood showed no signs of the inflammatory markers although he did say that this will need checking as I tapper. They did find however that

I have had PMR for two years. I finally took last Prednisolone tablet on 9 January and have been off them now for 10 days and feeling fine. I also stopped taking alendronic acid in November and omeprazole once I stopped my Prednisolone. Can I ask, if you have also stopped taking your steroids are

I was diagnosed in June 2019 with PMR after an unexpected attack out of the blue , when I was in so much pain I couldn't move and began shaking and with my teeth chattering. An excellent GP pulled out all the stops, arranged immediate blood tests and other examinations and very soon prescribed prednisolone

hi everyone just a question about AA, is it ok to just stop taking it? I was diagnosed in 2016 with PMR and 18 months later had a dexa scan which showed I had osteoporosis in the lower back. I can’t remember they exact numbers but it was only just in the realms of the lower end so was given Alendronic

After being diagnosed with osteoporosis 2 years ago I had tried Alendronate and couldn't tolerate it; Tried Forteo for a couple of months but ended up in ER with shortness of breath. With my rheumatologist and internist approval I followed the Micronutrient protocol for 1 1/2 years - while taking prednisone
