Steroids and alendronic acid
I have been having troubles with my legs being painful and weak enough to collapse. I was diagnosed as having vitamin d deficiency. My doctor has been concerned about my inflammation levels being high and thinks I may have Polymyalgia Rheumatica. She has prescribed prednisolone and alendronic acid. After

Anyone had mefenamic acid?
My doctor prescribed me this pain relief while I go through a bunch of tests, but I took two yesterday (at two separate times) and ever since I've been so nauseous, I've had about two hours of sleep last night/ this morning because the whole time I felt like I was on a boat and every time I was just

Wondering if I have endometriosis...
Hi I’ve been wondering recently if I might have endometriosis after googling my symptoms. I am 40 years old and have 2 children. It took 6 and 7 months to get pregnant with each but had no fertility problems. My symptoms are below – wondering if this sounds like it: •heavy and painful periods

A cure for backache??
Hi, I was 68 and very active, water skiing, tennis and keeping fit on a rowing machine then I thought I'd cracked a rib skiing which took months to heal then went skiing and the same thing happened again. I had an MRI which showed four collapsed vertebrae so a follow up bone density scan gave a value

Help, please.
I'm currently reducing my prednisolone - 1mg every ywo weeks - in preparation for my reassessment for etanercept. I was on10mg and I'm currently in my second week at 8mg. I'm still on 20mg leflunomide a week, and am in the first month taking alendronic acid. I'll be honest, I'm in a bit of a state. I

Hi All, I am a new 'old boy'.
A fellow sufferer with OP added to which is COPD. Had five Kyphoplasy ops which have helped. Taking Ibandronic acid monthly and Calcium tabs daily. Together the OP and Copd have given me a pigeon chest which does nothing to help the breathing. Visit a respiratory gym twice a week. Lost at least 5 inches

Painful Bloating
Hi ladies, I was diagnosed with Endo a couple of years ago and had a laparoscopy in Jan 2015. Since then the pain has come back and I suffer from severe pain in the form of extremely painful bloating on the last few days of my period and for several days after. To the point where I am bed bound for several

Undiagnosed endometriosis sufferer looking for advice
Hi, this is my first post so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right but I'm looking for some advice. A brief background of my condition starts at 17 when I first complained to my gp about suffering painful periods, they put me on the contraceptive pill which dealt with the issue somewhat for a while, however

Everything out of kilter
Just wondering if anyone can give any advice with this. I've been hypothyroid (auto immune) for almost 20 years and on various doses of Levothyroxine over the years. For the last 3 years, I have also been prescribed Liothyronine - current doses Levo 75mcgs and Lio 10mcgs. This is a recent reduction due

Tapering after 5 weeks on 20mg
Hi - would love input. My Rheumatologist has decided that I should decrease my Pred by 2.5mg per week until I reach 10mg. (So from 20 to 10 in four weeks) and then go down 1mg per month. I am so pleased to be tapering down but am so nervous as well. Does 2.5mg per week seem reasonable? My DEXA scan also
