Has anyone taken a non-medication route and seen an improvement in their osteoporosis through only supplements/diet/exercise?
Hello, I have osteoporosis and been advised to take medication - either HRT or Alendronate. However, I as an alternative wondered whether anyone who is not on medication has seen an improvement in their osteoporosis through only supplements/diet/exercise?

Is there a chat network for people with osteoporosis in England?
I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and my Dr prescribed Alendronic Acid 70 mg once a week, but after reading the side affects of taking it am unsure whether to take them. So far I have only broken my wrist bone about ten years ago when I had a fall, I have small aches and pains and have neuropathy

Alendronic acid tablets 😠
I’ve been taking these for a few months and understand that they have to be swallowed properly, and whilst upright, as they can cause problems in the oesophagus. Does anyone one else struggle with these blooming things, even with loads of water etc. Why oh why do they have to be the size of a horse

Omeprazole query
Recently diagnosed and on prednisolone; also prescribed Alendronic acid (weekly dose) and Omeprazole. I thought my GP said that as I have no history of gastric problems to only take the Omeprazole in the evening before I take the alendronic acid the next day. But she has prescribed enough for once daily

Good news on the bone density front
Hi, this group is helpful and supportive and feels like an extended family. So I just wanted to share a bit of good news. I had a DXA 18 months ago not long after starting Prednisolone and my scores were: -0.1 in the spine which was healthy but not so good in the hip: -1.9 Total Hip T score

Prolia
I have just received an email from my GP who has arranged for a F2F appointment to see me beginning January to discuss me starting to take Prolia. My last Dexascan in 2021 did show that I have osteoporosis, and I did take Alendronic Acid for the first two years of having Polymyalgia. Since then I have

Dental work and alendronate
I need a tooth extraction after a tooth has completely collapsed and became infected. The dentist has tried root canal treatment with the hope of adding a crown but it is still infected in the gum and he says it must come out due to a sepsis risk. He sent me to my consultant for permission as I have

PMR/Prednisolone and dental implants

Zolendroic acid after discovering compression fractures. Osteoporosis.
This is an update and a thank you really, as well as info for others. Last time I posted I was puzzled about back pain. Later after a scan revealed compression fractures I realised that the digging in the garden in July resulting in back pain which I thought was an old war wound slipped disc, was probably

Please share experience or advice re Risedronic acid and zoledronic acid use for low T score/ osteoporosis in GCA/PMR.
I have recently had a follow up Dexa scan. The last one was 2 years ago. I have GCA and PMR. At 20 mg pred and reducing after a recent flare of GCA. The scan has shown a significant deterioration in my lumbar spine but not in my hips/femur region which are still osteopenic. L1-L4 5/6/2024. BMD
