Pausing Medication
Hi all, This is my first post on this forum, so please be gentle! I was diagnosed with osteoporosis late in 2023 and started taking alendronic acid 70mg in Feb. I was also prescribed a statin for cholesterol around the same time. For the last few months I've been suffering from painful shoulder

I am female, aged 71 and a UK resident.Early in 2023 I experienced significant and prolonged upper back pain, followed a few weeks later by similar lower back pain. X-rays revealed fractures at L1 and L4. After waiting some time, a DEXA scan showed 'severe' osteoporosis. I am now on an annual programme

Hyaluronic acid test anyone?
Hi there all, Quick question - I've just discovered - been delving into my husband's medical notes and letters that he had a hyaluronic serum test just back in June. This was because the liver doctor was bemused at his fibroscan result which she says showed no cirrhosis. Now, I know for a fact that

weather related flare
Having a bad one today. Thunderstorms and wind yesterday, more rain today. Headache and body pain. Took an arthritis Tylenol, magnesium and malic acid and it hasn’t subsided. ☹️. After I’ve had something to eat, I’ll take an Advil. 🤞😶🌫️

Alendronate "time-out"
Alendronate has been prescribed by my rheumatologis. She has requested I take a "time-out" period. Does anyone know the usual length of these prescribed time-outs? Carol

4 months after laparoscopy pain comes back
hi all, it's my first post here... i had a laparoscopy in April, stage 2 endometriosis, couple of cysts (one excised, one drained). I had the hormonal Mirena coil inserted during the surgery as I was told this is the best solution to prevent endo from coming back. First two months were full of spotting

blood tests and zoledronic acid infusions
I recently asked for a blood test in-between my zoledronic acid infusions to see how my calcium levels are, I got a text from a gp to say that I only need a blood test 2-7 days prior to my infusion, it's good to know if I am still absorbing calcium I do not take a calcium supplement,

blood tests while on zoledronic acid infusion.
I recently asked for regular blood tests while on zoledronic acid infusions, a gp sent me a text to say that I only need blood tests a week before the next infusion, I wanted to see if my calcium levels were ok in-between infusions, but no.

questions about Ursodiol medication.
I take 300mg of ursodiol 3 times a day and I’ve been taking this for 6 years. My only one problem is that I have never been able to swallow pills before and still can’t get it right. I been getting complaints from my dentist about cavities popping up often when I visit for fillings. I try to rinse

Alendronic Acid. Making my own choices.
Just an offload really: I woke up today (AA day) and decided not to take it. I’ve just been reading previous posts on here and ive found it pretty scary to read that once stopping taking it, it can stay in your system for 10 yrs. That’s frightening stuff. I was diagnosed over the phone withPMR
