Alendronic Acid or Teriperatide
Has anyone used Teriperatide to increase bone density? I thought it was supposed to be coming off patent and therefore getting cheaper. (In the UK at least.) I was told it was very expensive and not given to those with less than 3 fractures of the spine. I have refused Alendronic Acid.

Mirena removal and bleeding
Hi, just wondering what your experiences are of mirena removal and instant bleeding? I had mine removed Monday, Tuesday spotting and heavy bleeding yesterday and today. Just wondering wondering how long this may last and if I need to take Tranexamic acid prescribed by Dr. Thank you

Update on my PMR journey.
Hi everyone. I’m still struggling with various side effects of prednisolone, but still largely pain free from PMR at the moment. Down from 30mg to 20mg now. My blood sugar is up to 48 and my kidney function is down to 54 (CKD Stage 3) my ~bp is up and so are my ankles! I can’t climb the stairs without

Excessive menstrual bleeding
Hi, I'm new here after discovering I had a tight stenosis of my LAD artery last month. A big shock at 46. I had a stent inserted on 26/10/21 and am now on aspirin for life and Clopidogrel for 6 months. My last period was awful - on day 2, I leaked through super plus tampons and a sanitary towel plus

Pill and treatment Endo?
Hi all, hoping for some advice. I was diagnosed with Endo in Jan 19 after having a large cyst removal, which resulted in my ovary and tube also being removed (left side). I was discharged from Gynae care after being given the pill. I stopped taking the pill and tried to carry on as normal (due to continuous

Omeprazole
Omeprazole has been added to my prescription - so far I haven't taken it as I'd rather take as few medications as possible. It seems to be recommended with steroids and alendronic acid - is it necessary? I have been encouraged to take AA due to osteopenia but, again, not entirely sure if I need it.

Confused
After having a compressed fracture L2 six weeks ago without a reason I got a Dexa Scan my results are -2.7 thigh and -4.8 spine. My GP prescribed Alendronic Acid tabs and Accrete D3 and Calcium. He then changed his mind on the Accrete because the x-ray I had which discovered the L2 fracture said there

Androgen Receptor [AR] Axis Therapies
Some thoughts on AR-axis therapy (androgen deprivation & AR antagonists) after reading a new assessment of the benefit of second-line drugs [1]. In a sense, I view myself fortunate to have been diagnosed in 2004. When surgery [RP] was not successful (nor salvage radiation) it was suggested that I begin

Re: "A Possible Solution For ... Peripheral Neuropathy ..."
By the time I got around to responding to Nalakrat's post, he had over 3 dozen repiles & who know how many who read but did not respond. On the basis that those people would not get to read a late post, I started this one. I have some interest in this going back to 2016 when my wife was on Velcade,

Alendronic Acid - any experience
Hi I’ve been in pred since June and just reduced to 7mg. Dr has now prescribed Alendronic Acid and having read the side effects especially on feeling unwell and jaw problems it seems like exchange a hypothetical potential bone issue for a whole loss of prevelant side effects. I have a dental implant
