denosumab injections
Hi Everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice so I can make an informed decision about treatment with denosumab. I am 61 and I had a small hormone-related breast cancer removed at the start of 2020. Subsequently I went on Letrozole which I couldn’t tolerate. They changed me to Anastrozole which I’m ok

Expiration date
After reading about the (supposed?) shortage of B12 in UK, I, too, am wondering if PanPharma’s shortened expiration date from 2 years to one year has contributed to this perceived shortage. Have we gotten the final answer on why PanPharma shortened their expiry date? Does anyone know if the inactive

Anyone clued up on bone health please?
I recently had a bone scan and was very concerned to learn that there had been severe degenerative changes to both my spine and hips which weren't expected as my scan 3 years ago wasn't bad. They did take me off Alendronic Acid 18 months ago at which time I also went gluten and dairy free (found out

Diagnosis Issue
Hi All, I have been having issues with my periods since they began but the last 3 years have gotten much worse. Every period I have seems to be worse than the last. After a lot of back and forth with the GP and having tried the pill, mini pill and coil over the last 6 years, I persuaded them to refer

Dosage of Ursodiol
Looking at my M2 Antibody levels from the last 2 blood panels, it looks like I have PBC. My other levels, GGT and Alk Phos are within normal range. My doctor has prescribed Ursodiol for me to treat the PBC and the dosage seems high. I am to take a 500mg tablet in the morning and a 250mg tablet at

My rheumy wants me off of prednisone as soon as possible
First of all, thanks to everyone who replied me, and gave me valuable advice on my previous post. This is an update. Previously, I mentioned that I wasn't happy with my first rheumy appointment as she thinks I don’t need steroids because my inflammation markers are in a normal range and this is not a

Omega 3 supplements- increased risk of cardiovascular disease?
I recently read on a Grassroots Health newsletter that recent research has shown that B vitamins don’t work well without omega 3. (I can’t be more specific than ‘don’t work well ‘and I’m not sure there was a reference - but I’ll find a screenshot. I take a B complex So I started supplementing with omega

Egg collection results
Finally the wait is over. The dr called me to give me results for my EC. Out of 4 eggs 2 were matured and fertilised and 1 didn’t make it. I take comfort that I have 1 embryo that is now frozen. It is a 3BB @ day 6, he mentioned the best would have been 4AA just to give me an idea of where we are (this

Omega 3
I've read that many fish oil supplements are rancid and low quality, but I've also read that the linseed i usually take doesn't have as much omega 3 as animal sourced options. What brands are recommended...

REMs scan result
Hi everyone, just wanted to share my good news with you all. I broke my back after a high impact fall from my kitchen worktop onto the floor in 2020. I had to fight for a Dexa scan after being advised to start bone meds. I had the scan last March results as follows. Dual Femur total -1.5 and lumbar spine

Alendronic Acid and Pred
My friend who's a long term sufferer of pmr (11 years) was down to 2.5mg but after a mishap had to back to 5mg. She had a review with a new young GP who told her that if she went back on Alendronic Acid, this would help her get off pred. Has anyone else been told this? Wouldn't we all be on it

Feedback on private Blood tests please, before my Endo appt..
I posted earlier this month asking for advice before I see my Endo at the end of November. I've not been feeling too great and my Endo put me on Hrt as my levels were all in range and he thinks my symptoms are perimenopausal rather than thyroid. (graves/Rai Oct 21) I feel it's a mixture of both. Hrt

Taking R lipoic acid
I have been taking alpha lipoic acid for 18 months now. For the last 10 years everytime I’ve been to the clinic twice per year at least my stone loading increased - either new stones or larger stones. Since I have been taking lipoic acid my stones have remained the same size. I have read the feeds and
