Pmr confirmed
Further to my first post last week, saw my gp today who confirmed pmr due to huge lowering in esr levels and crp levels since taking the prednisolone. He has reduced to prednisolone to 12.5 from 15 for one week and then to 10mg and then I need a further blood test and need to see him a week after. He

Ursodiol Dosage
I was recently diagnosed with PBC. The doctor said I was in the very early stages and prescribed Ursodiol. I take 500mg twice a day. Is that the typical dosage for this disease?

Buckwheat and diabetes,
Hi everyone, As buckwheat is gluten free and contains some of the essential
amino
acids
making it a good choice protein wise. It helps to manage blood sugar levels and as obesity and diabetes affects all walks of life and many coeliac have type 2 diabetes I think that this is useful to know.

Just a little info about ursodiol
I found this article to be interesting. https://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(04)02000-1/fulltext My niece gave me this link to read. It’s a little outdated so not sure how accurate it is.

Effects of ursodiol
I have a niece who is into natural remedies for anything medical that requires medication. She was researching ursodiol and found that it can cause cancer Asked if I would try something natural instead. Is this an issue? Can it in actual fact cause cancer ??

Alendronic acid
Hi all, Is there anyone who has had good Dexa scan results when taking Alendronic acid. If so, how long did you take it for, and how long have you been off it.

Wondering if this was having an effect with the pred. I do not want to raise the pred so am looking for alternatives. As I am reducing I had read

Sorry to waffle again ladies / Medication
I’ve not been well for months but as us women do we keep going, however the last 4/5 wks I’ve been floored literally can’t do anything at speed all l want to do is just sleep. I think my GP is fed up with me but she is also pushing to get me seen by endometriosis specialist/gynaecologist. In between

Anyone know id NAC Sustain is Ok to take if you have APS
I was diagnosed with APS Syndrome over a year ago. I am Asymptomatic and never had a blood clot so the doctor does not want to put me on a blood thinner. Before I was diagnosed I was already taking multiple supplement's such as aged garlic, cayenne pepper, vitamin D, omega 3, turmeric, collagen, chlorophyll

What medicines to be cautious of....
I am seeing my rheumatologist in 5 days, for the first time since my diagnosis for PMR and possibly GCA. I know prednisone will most likely become a part of my life again, but I had terrible side effects 20 years ago. So, if the doctor were to try anything else like Alendronic Acid (scarey!), are there
