When the drugs don’t work

How bad do I need to get before I will be treated?
I’m just wondering how much worse do I need to get before I can get treatment? Do I even need treatment at all? Should I already be on it? I’m still trying to make sense of what my latest blood results mean. I have hypothyroid symptoms and have had them for about 2 years now with new ones developing

PTH and aggressive PCa? I need guidance
Hello, everyone! I can really use some guidance.

Alendronic Acid
It has been recommended that I take Alendronic Acid to protect my bones whilst taking Prednisone as I now have Osteoporosis. To be honest given the potential horrendous side effects of Alendronic Acid which on top of those of taking Prednisone and of course the impact of having GCA I am reluctant to
