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

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

My Onco says he only looks at the PCa, bone health is not his department, I say he couldn't be more wrong.

i have depression, suicidal ideation and I don't know what to do.
it took me two weeks to taper from lexapro to Cymbalta. I've now been on Cymbalta since 10.14.22 (2 weeks) at 60. I'm also on lithium. I have had very weird side effects. It was very hard for me to sleep. Sometimes 3 or 4 hours,sometimes up all night. We kept switching Cymbalta from day to night and

vitamin advice
hi, I’ve got myself bogged down in an effort to take supplements to help with bone loss. I was diagnosed with osteopenia following a DEXA scan. I don’t want to take Alendronic acid and my GP agreed with me taking vitamin D3 + K2 mk7 and magnesium glycinate and to have a further DEXA scan in three years

Having two contraceptions
Hi, I'm about to get the Mirena coil but I'm currently on the depo injection. I was wondering if it's ok to be on two contraceptions at once? I'm thinking it might help with the transition and pain as I'm really struggling to get strong enough pain killers from my GP. They have prescribed mefenamic

Stopped AA but taking EvacalD3
After an MRI showing four compression fractures, my GP put me on Alendronic Acid and EvacalD3. I read about some side effects for AA and stopped taking it after nine months. I am still taking Evacal. Is this safe enough? I am nearing 78 and my risk for osteoporosis is not high. My bones are in quite

Dr Berg has over EIGHT MILLION subscribers on YouTube. His background is chiropractic but his videos very rarely talk about anything that is 'chiro' He always has very interesting (and unde 10 minutes!) health video. I know that ALZ is 'not' PD... But they are very much related in as much they are

Zoledronic acid infusion for osteoporosis- I have to consider this
To fill in some historic details: I was treated for many years by Katharina Dalton for Premenstrual Migraine and Sinusitis using natural progesterone (Gestone Injections). Successfully.
